About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of experience in California. She offers steady, compassionate support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and everyday stresses. Christina keeps language simple and practical so worried parents can read quickly and know what to expect.
She uses approaches that center relationships and present-day problems. Sessions focus on how attachment patterns shape feelings and behaviors. Christina also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.
Background and approach
In the room she aims to make things understandable and doable. Clients work on clearer communication, improved sleep and eating habits, coping skills for panic and stress, and managing mood changes such as bipolar symptoms. She also helps people facing grief, burnout, caregiving strain, or long-term pain and illness.
Christina mentions a Christian-informed perspective and respects clients' values and backgrounds while tailoring care to each person. Her style blends a warm, client-centered stance with practical skills from CBT and DBT when useful. The goal is steady progress and stronger coping between sessions.
She provides therapy in English from her California practice. Christina supports people dealing with life transitions, relationship trouble, and struggles with self-esteem or control issues. Her work is organized around clear goals and gradual steps toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early bonds influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to identify patterns, improve emotional connection, and reduce avoidance in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and goals, with the therapist offering empathic listening and gentle guidance. This approach helps people feel heard and to find their own solutions through regular online check-ins and goal-setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In video or phone sessions clients learn specific tools for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood management and practice them between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and values. That choice can shift over time as progress is measured and new concerns appear.
Online formats offer flexibility and easier access to regular care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and observing reactions. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick coping strategies, ongoing coaching, or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum toward goals.
