About Christine
Christine Berberian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related stress. She brings 14 years of professional experience and works with each person to create a plan that fits their situation. Christine speaks in plain terms and aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to match what a person needs right now.
Background and approach
Sessions commonly address anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem or relationships. Christine also helps people facing addiction, career shifts, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She listens for patterns like attachment wounds, control issues, or impulsivity and helps people build clearer communication and healthier coping skills. Practical tools and small, actionable goals are part of the process. Christine draws on 14 years of practice in California as an LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist - to guide treatment choices.
She tailors pacing and techniques to each person's needs rather than applying one set plan. People often come for help with parenting strain, relationship friction, money worries, or feelings of isolation. Christine supports clients in naming priorities, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress toward a more balanced daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skill-building for anxiety and stress management, which involves learning breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and behavior changes to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. This work is helpful for panic, generalized anxiety, and coping with life transitions.She also emphasizes communication and attachment-focused skills to improve relationships and reduce conflict. These methods look at how people connect, teach clearer ways to express needs, and practice new interactions to reduce recurring patterns like control struggles or abandonment fears.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily challenges, and past attempts at change, then try techniques and adjust them based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick tools that fit personal preferences and life demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and paced skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share updates between sessions or to access support in brief moments, offering flexibility for busy schedules or caregiving routines.
