About Rajan

LMFT Rajan Christian practices in California and has 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy in his work.

Rajan favors concise, practical work that helps people identify values and take steps toward them. He helps people notice patterns that get in the way - for example avoidance, control issues, or communication problems - and then practices alternatives together. Sessions include talk and structured exercises drawn from CBT and ACT, with attention to attachment dynamics that shape relationships.

He has substantial experience with adolescents and adults across settings. That includes nonprofit agencies, county behavioral health, school districts, and private organizations. He has also worked in both outpatient and inpatient environments.

Rajan has provided crisis response work with suicidal adolescents and adults. He has delivered trauma-focused care and used EMDR and trauma resiliency techniques in those roles. This background informs how he approaches safety and stabilization in earlier sessions.

Clients can expect clear, short-term goals alongside deeper work about meaning and values. He also assists people with practical issues such as parenting stress, blended family challenges, career transitions, and coping after disasters. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and building behavior around those values. It uses practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It pays attention to how people signal needs and respond to closeness, which can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and caregiving stress.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's pace. This approach supports people who want a steady, exploratory space to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on goals, symptoms, and what feels practical for day-to-day life. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as needed.

Confirm session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet without arranging childcare or long commutes. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistent work on goals with licensed professionals.
