About Rajan

Rajan Christian brings a therapist's curiosity and a practical, evidence-informed approach to his work.

Background and approach

As an LMFT with 15 years of experience in California, he integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered and Existential methods to help clients clarify values, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build more meaningful daily lives. He has additional training in EMDR and trauma resiliency, which inform his trauma-focused interventions.

Rajan has worked across nonprofit agencies, county behavioral health services, school districts, and personal organizations, providing both outpatient and inpatient care. That breadth of settings shaped his work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, among other issues.

He also addresses specific areas such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control problems, and coping with major life changes. Known for combining compassionate listening with practical skill-building, Rajan supports clients who seek clearer direction, improved emotional regulation, and more satisfying relationships.

He accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to increase access to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify their core values and take committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems with emotional regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, offering ways to improve communication and closeness.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist works with each client to weigh goals, preferences, and the presenting challenges, then adapts techniques over time. This means methods may shift from values-focused ACT exercises to skills-based CBT work or relational attachment interventions depending on what the client needs and how they respond.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live outside the therapist's local area. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
