Christina Kohfield, LMFT

Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related issues, including sexual dysfunction. Her style is compassionate and person-focused, and she emphasizes respect for each person's background and values.

Christina uses practical conversation and steady support to help clients make changes that feel doable. She helps people work on communication, self-esteem, managing anger, and coping with life transitions. She also addresses substance use, trauma, grief, and chronic health concerns in straightforward, step-by-step ways.

Her work often draws on attachment ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. She mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build new skills and reduce distress. Existential ideas help clients clarify values and find purpose when life feels uncertain.

Christina notes a Christian-informed perspective and is willing to respect and integrate clients' spiritual values when requested. She aims to meet people where they are and to partner on realistic goals rather than pushing a single method.

People who want to start typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Christina works in English for clients located in California.

How Christina's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions; online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and the client's own goals, giving space to talk through values and choices at a steady pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of listening, skill-building, and values-focused conversation as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for focused skill practice between meetings. Some people find shorter check-ins useful during workday breaks, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper conversations. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to pick session rhythms that match your life and goals.
