About Rajan

Rajan Christian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends practical therapy with a focus on relationships. He helps people who feel stuck by talking through stress, anxiety, depression, and problems in close relationships. People often come for help with parenting, grief, addictive behaviors, and life changes. Rajan works with adolescents, young adults, and professionals who want clearer direction and better daily functioning.

He brings 15 years of work across nonprofit, county behavioral health, school district, outpatient, and inpatient settings. That background means he has experience with crisis situations and complex needs. He has spent several years on a crisis response team supporting people in acute distress, including those facing suicidal thoughts.

In sessions he uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These methods are adapted to what each person needs - sometimes focusing on values and actions, sometimes on communication and patterns from early relationships.

Rajan also has experience addressing trauma and dissociation, and has worked with people dealing with abandonment, codependency, and attachment challenges. He supports clients navigating career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship intimacy issues.

He practices in California and offers services in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and finding direction when life feels empty. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help with intimacy, codependency, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Early sessions often include trying a few ways of working to see what feels most helpful, and adjustments are made as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer barriers related to travel or scheduling. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make regular check-ins more manageable, allow shorter midweek sessions when needed, and support people who live far from the therapist's California practice.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
