About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of practice. She offers steady, compassionate support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, and life transitions. Her work is down-to-earth and aimed at practical change rather than medical labels.
Christina listens first and then helps people find small, doable steps to feel better. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to repair hurt in close relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and crises.
Background and approach
Sessions are guided by the client’s goals. Christina helps people build better communication, handle grief, and address intimacy or parenting strains. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, or substance concerns in straightforward terms that make sense day to day.
Her Christian-informed perspective means she is careful to respect personal values and faith when it matters to a client. She frames therapy as collaborative work where the person’s values shape the path forward. People who work with Christina often focus on regaining routine, improving sleep and eating patterns, and rebuilding self-esteem after setbacks.
She combines practical tools with reflective conversation to help clients move toward clearer priorities and healthier habits.

How her approaches translate to online care
Christina uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavior techniques to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, which helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by teaching practical exercises and thought restructuring.Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotion regulation skills, relational work, or cognitive strategies and adjust the approach as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer therapy and teaching skills that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for simpler check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, homework review, or between-session coaching. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
