About Sandi
Sandi Hines is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and relationship concerns. She describes a warm, person-centered style and aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
Her approach begins with listening to each person's story and current struggles. Sessions emphasize practical coping strategies to handle life’s ups and downs.
Background and approach
She helps clients notice strengths, build resilience, and increase self-esteem and confidence. Sandi draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs. She uses existential ideas to look at meaning and purpose, cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors, and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns.
These tools are adapted to the issues a person brings to therapy. People often come for help with family tensions, parenting stress, grief, trauma, career concerns, or feelings of emptiness. Sandi also works with challenges like codependency, communication problems, blended family issues, and compassion fatigue.
She supports people coping with life changes and complex emotional reactions. The first meetings focus on understanding goals and finding small, practical steps forward. Sandi aims to be genuine and non-judgmental while helping people try new ways of thinking and acting.
She invites clients to set the pace and direction of their work together.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, choice, and what matters most. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about life direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to small actions that match personal values; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help when communication problems, trust issues, or recurring relationship patterns cause distress. In sessions these approaches are used in simple, concrete ways so people can try new responses and see what fits.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools suit their goals and preferences. That choice is guided by what the client wants to change and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These formats let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel without losing continuity of care.
