Christina Kohfield, LMFT

Christina Kohfield is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to help people feel steadier and more connected to their values.

Christina uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. She pays attention to attachment patterns and to how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. That means sessions often include reflecting on relational patterns, practicing new skills, and identifying small changes that make daily life easier.

Her background includes long experience helping people with grief, caregiving stress, addiction, and chronically difficult health issues. She also works on concerns such as body image, intimacy-related struggles, and life transitions. Christina notes a Christian-informed perspective and respects clients' values when that matters to the work.

Christina focuses on practical steps as well as deeper meaning. Conversations can cover communication habits, healthy boundaries, coping skills for panic or intense emotion, and rebuilding trust after loss or hurt. She aims for therapy to feel useful between sessions as well as in them.

People often choose her for steady guidance through complicated life changes. She helps clarify priorities, soothe intense feelings, and set realistic goals. Before booking, confirm current session options and whether the fit feels right for your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christina blends attachment-focused work with cognitive and client-centered methods. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feeling states and trust; it helps when patterns of closeness or distance keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or compulsive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for the person to lead the session while the therapist offers reflection and support to clarify values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about what feels most useful and tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like skills coaching, behavioral experiments, and attachment-focused reflection to an online setting while working with each client's schedule and comfort level.
