Christine Hamby, LCSW

Christine Hamby is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and depression. She works with individuals facing life transitions and caregivers dealing with compassion fatigue. Christine uses plain language so families can understand next steps quickly.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her work when people need help making room for difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationships and the patterns people repeat.

Christine keeps sessions practical and focused. She helps people set small goals and track progress between meetings. Sessions often include simple exercises to try at home and short steps that build confidence over time.

Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based. She asks about what’s working and what feels stuck, then plans short-term strategies and longer-term skills. Christine has three years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets people pick what fits their routine. Conversations are in English and she works with clients located in Oklahoma. Getting started begins by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online care

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety and test small changes in behavior to reduce distress. CBT work online can include setting clear homework, tracking thoughts, and practicing new habits between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward valued goals. ACT online often focuses on brief mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and action plans that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about what matters most and try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt techniques over time to find what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone calls work well when bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, and chat or texting can be used for quick check-ins or brief skill practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to continue work from wherever someone is located.
