About Christina
Christina Kohfield is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and other stressful life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than long lectures.
Christina uses attachment-based work to look at how early family patterns affect current relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing strong emotions. Conversations are aimed at recognizing patterns, testing new behaviors, and building skills that fit everyday life.
She often addresses family of origin issues such as persistent roles, communication patterns, and expectations that continue to shape choices as an adult. Christina also supports people with parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and difficulties around intimacy and commitment.
Her practice welcomes people who want both short-term problem solving and longer-term work on recurring patterns. She integrates client-centered listening with practical tools from CBT and DBT to help people make changes between sessions. Christina can also include existential questions about meaning and purpose when that matters to the client.
Christina notes a Christian-informed perspective and matches her style to clients' values and backgrounds. She asks questions about what faith, culture, or family values matter to each person before planning the work. The emphasis is on clear goals, realistic steps, and steady progress.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape adult patterns. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns and practice new ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what the client says, helping people clarify their own goals and values in conversation. Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment-focused exploration, CBT skill practice, or a mix of methods fits their needs and goals. This is reassessed over time as progress and priorities change. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. Some formats use less bandwidth or shorter check-ins if that suits daily life. Ask about the specific session options when scheduling to choose what fits your routine.Areas of expertise
