Christine DeHart, LCSW

Christine DeHart is an LCSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strains, and challenges related to LGBTQ issues. She has about 15 years of professional experience and talks with clients in a respectful, compassionate way. She offers practical support for people coping with life changes, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Christine adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She says taking the first step toward change takes courage and aims to empower clients through that process. She works with people who live alternative lifestyles and those who follow earth-based spiritual paths. She has experience with military-related concerns and brings that understanding into sessions.

In practice she focuses on clear, down-to-earth dialogue and goal-oriented work. Techniques draw from client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationship patterns are central.

Her background includes practice in Indiana and licensure in Arizona and Indiana as a licensed clinical social worker. She maintains a private practice near downtown Indianapolis and has provided clinical services for many years.

Christine also teaches Reiki and holds the Reiki Master Teacher title, which she may integrate with interest and consent. Her approach is to meet people where they are and tailor work to what matters most to each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and trust. It can help people understand patterns in how they relate and build new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so sessions match what the person wants to achieve.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time to an office. It can also let someone choose a session style that fits their routine, like a focused skills session or longer discussion when more time is available.
