Dr. Lisa Hines, LCSW

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and major life changes. She aims to respond with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to each person who reaches out.

Clients can expect a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps, with space to talk through difficult feelings and build coping skills.

Dr. Hines adapts conversation and techniques to match what each person needs in the moment.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, reconsider unhelpful thoughts, and practice new ways of reacting to stress and strong emotions.

In sessions she focuses on improving communication, repairing attachment challenges, and addressing guilt, shame, or issues around forgiveness. Practical concerns such as panic attacks, mood shifts, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation are also common topics.

Dr. Hines emphasizes collaboration.

She partners with people to set goals and to try small, achievable changes between meetings. Her tone is encouraging and grounded, aimed at helping people take steady steps toward feeling more capable and connected.
