About Christina

Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 22 years of clinical experience. She uses a compassionate, individualized style that centers on helping clients make sense of complicated life challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes emotional growth, improved communication, and building practical coping skills to manage stress, grief, relationship problems, and career-related concerns. Christina creates a therapeutic space where self-understanding and resilience are developed through evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.

She addresses a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, anger and self-esteem struggles, and chronic illness or pain. Christina also attends to issues such as codependency, abandonment, and substance-related problems with a strength-based, client-centered orientation.

Clients looking for a therapist who blends empathic listening with structured techniques will find that Christina pairs practical problem-solving with exploration of meaning and values. Her California licensure (CA LMFT 78980) anchors two decades of practice aimed at helping people move through transitions and toward more balanced, purposeful lives.

Combining practical techniques and relational insight online

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; this work helps clients explore interpersonal dynamics, attachment wounds, and ways to form more stable bonds. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting each person’s own capacity for growth, providing a nonjudgmental environment where goals and values guide the process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Christina collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so work remains personally meaningful and effective.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life, allowing continuity of care during transitions or when in-person meetings are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools and relational support as face-to-face work, while tailoring delivery to each client's routine and circumstances.
