About Christine
Christine Rodriguez is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with four years of clinical experience based in California. She focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, sexual issues, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses topics like attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
She helps people who feel disconnected from partners or unsure how to repair trust after infidelity. Sessions are practical and action-oriented. She works on clearer communication, rebuilding fondness and admiration, and improving sexual functioning when that is a concern.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns and deepen emotional connection.
Training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Sexual Health Certificate Program in Sex Therapy and Sex Education from the University of Michigan completed in 2024. The profile lists those qualifications and her LCSW credential from California.
Therapy sessions focus on concrete skills and experiments. Clients practice communication exercises, short behavioral experiments, and mindfulness techniques between sessions. Christine aims to make sessions straightforward so people can apply what they learn to daily life.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Christine frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then test small changes to see what shifts. CBT is practical and suits issues like anxiety, stress, and day-to-day relationship strains.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify patterns of emotional disconnection and Attachment-Based ideas to understand how earlier relationship experiences shape current responses. EFT and attachment work focus on emotions and interaction cycles and can help with rebuilding trust and deepening closeness after breaches.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will review goals, try concrete tools, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to decide which interventions to prioritize and when to combine approaches.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Some online arrangements also mean less need to be on camera or can use phone-only conversations if that helps with comfort or bandwidth. Discuss practical preferences during the intake so sessions match daily life and goals.
