About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 22 years of clinical experience. She uses a compassionate, person-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She aims to create clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.
Christina blends attachment-focused work with cognitive behavioral tools to address relationship patterns and anxious thoughts. Sessions often include straightforward techniques for managing panic, improving sleep, and coping with grief or loss.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, and chronic health challenges. Her client-centered stance means she follows each person’s priorities and pace. That can look like talking through communication habits, exploring values, or trying new coping skills in small steps.
This approach keeps therapy focused on real, everyday changes that matter to clients. Christina recognizes the role of faith for some people and welcomes conversations about values when relevant to therapy goals. She emphasizes strengths and resilience while helping people face painful memories or patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Practical concerns such as parenting stress, career crossroads, body image, and intimacy-related issues are commonly addressed. Christina also helps with ADHD-related struggles, bipolar mood concerns, and recovery from abuse or domestic violence. Her work is geared toward steady progress, not quick fixes.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online care
Christina commonly combines attachment-based approaches with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people understand relationship patterns and shift anxious or unhelpful thoughts. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and communication, which helps when addressing intimacy issues, abandonment worries, or relationship stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or mood problems active and teaches concrete skills to change them.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Christina uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers shorter, written interactions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and bring therapy into everyday life.
