About Rajan
Rajan Christian is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, trauma and addictions, and related concerns such as self-esteem, grief, and parenting challenges.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include clear, step-by-step practices to test new ways of responding to hard situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches he uses alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy.
Christian has worked across nonprofit agencies, county behavioral health, school districts, and private programs. That range has given him experience supporting people in outpatient and inpatient contexts and responding to crises with suicidal adolescents and adults.
His background also includes work with trauma-focused methods and trauma resiliency, and he has experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). He draws on those skills when trauma or overwhelming stress is part of someone's concerns.
Clients can expect direct, practical conversation about what is getting in the way now and short exercises to try between sessions. He asks about goals, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients, with costs that vary by location and a subscription billing option that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, ACT and Attachment work in online care
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and then testing practical alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems by giving short exercises and behavioral experiments to try between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It is often used for handling chronic worry, life transitions, and problems where avoidance has become a pattern.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence current ways of connecting. It can be helpful when relationship trust, intimacy, or patterns of withdrawal and pursuit are part of the concern.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences and will adapt the plan as progress or challenges appear.
