About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a California LMFT with 22 years of clinical experience helping people face anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Christina brings a Christian-informed perspective and respects clients' values while focusing on practical steps forward.
She uses a mix of problem-solving and reflective work. Sessions often include identifying patterns in thoughts and behavior, practicing emotion regulation skills, and improving communication. Christina describes herself as client-centered and attentive to how attachment and life meaning affect current struggles.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in California where she has supported people with panic, shame, social anxiety, and complex interpersonal problems. She also works with issues linked to chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance use concerns. Her experience spans short-term coping strategies and longer-term work on life goals.
Christina often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-focused conversations and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. She can help people who are coping with major life changes, career stress, or repeated relationship patterns. She also offers coaching-style support for practical steps toward goals.
People considering therapy can expect clear, paced sessions that focus on what matters now. She asks about spiritual background when it is relevant and integrates those values into therapy planning if the client prefers. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online work using attachment ideas often looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more helpful alternatives; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress with clear exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger, emotion regulation, and relationship conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. That includes checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Session format details are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools such as worksheets, breathing exercises, and role-play practice while still working with a licensed professional to address anxiety, social fears, relationship patterns, and life transitions.
