About Rajan

Rajan Christian uses practical, relationship-focused therapy to help people manage stress and rebuild connection. He brings 15 years of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California.

Background and approach

His sessions aim to make feelings and goals clearer so people can take small, steady steps forward. He often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-focused work and client-centered listening.

That combination helps people notice painful thoughts, name relationship patterns, and decide what matters most. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, with room to talk about emotions and daily struggles.

People come to him for anxiety, depression, grief, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. He also supports those facing addiction, trauma, parenting stress, caregiver strain, ADHD, and career changes.

He addresses a range of specific concerns such as abandonment, codependency, body image, and communication problems. Rajan has worked in nonprofit programs, county behavioral health, school settings, and personal clinics.

That mix of outpatient and inpatient experience shaped his focus on practical coping skills and real-life problem solving. He has also worked on crisis teams with people in acute distress.

Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients may be seen when scheduling and licensing allow.

Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling appointment times that fit each person.

How ACT, attachment work, and client-centered therapy translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters to them. Online sessions can use exercises and values work to set small goals and practice new behaviors between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication. In video or messaging sessions, the therapist helps identify those patterns and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and pace, with empathic listening and reflective responses to help make sense of feelings and choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, preferences, and daily realities. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as concerns change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and keep therapy working around a busy life.
