About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 22 years of experience. She offers calm, direct support for people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges. Her work is practical and rooted in respect for each person’s values and life story.
Christina uses approaches that help people feel heard and understood. Sessions often focus on improving communication, reducing shame and isolation, and finding clearer purpose. She brings a Christian-informed perspective and aims to honor clients' faith or background when that matters to them.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, bipolar mood fluctuations, codependency, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and substance use issues. Christina also helps people with eating and sleeping struggles, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping with major life changes.
In therapy she blends relational work with practical skills. That can mean using attachment-based ideas to improve trust, client-centered listening to shape goals, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior and existential ideas may be brought in when managing intense emotions or searching for meaning.
Christina aims to guide clients toward healthier patterns and more steady daily living. She focuses on building resilience and usable tools that fit day-to-day life. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Christina’s approaches translate to online work
Christina uses attachment-based and cognitive-behavioral approaches alongside client-centered listening. Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating. Cognitive-behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and teaches practical steps to change them. Client-centered listening means priorities come from the person in the room and sessions are shaped around their goals and values.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and will adjust methods over time based on needs, goals, and preferences. The aim is to select tools that feel useful and fit everyday life rather than stick to a single model.
Session logistics and formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and let people meet from quieter surroundings or locations that reduce time away from daily tasks. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, thought records, and emotion-regulation skills to remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
