About Christian

Background and approach
Christian uses a mix of methods drawn from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and relationship-focused tools such as the Gottman Method. That blend aims to improve communication, reduce distressing thoughts, and build healthier habits day to day. He also draws on mindfulness and dialectical skills when emotional regulation or strong reactions become barriers to progress.
Over nine years in practice in California, he has worked with people facing trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, blended family challenges, and substance use concerns. Christian pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when those patterns shape current struggles. His style is practical and collaborative.
He helps people set manageable steps, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and stronger relationships that support long-term recovery and growth.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Christian often uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce repeated arguments; this approach focuses on practical exercises and clearer interaction habits that can be practiced between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence, meaning sessions prioritize the person's perspective, listening, and building a trusting working relationship that guides what comes next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences, and together you will try methods that fit your situation. Adjustments are normal as you discover what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat can fit quick updates or brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and moment-to-moment coaching. These options offer flexibility so therapy fits around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
