Christina Kohfield

Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work with adults. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles. Christina writes in plain terms and aims to create a calm space for people to talk through hard experiences and make steady changes.

She uses approaches that center relationships and present-day concerns. Sessions often explore attachment patterns, addictive behaviors, and ways to reduce overwhelming anxiety. Christina also supports people coping with grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and life transitions.

Christina combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she pays attention to each person’s story while helping them try new coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. She also weaves in existential questions about meaning and purpose when those come up for a client.

Her practice reflects a Christian-informed perspective and she is mindful of values when matching care to a person’s beliefs. Christina aims to help people grow self-compassion, stronger communication, and clearer boundaries in their relationships.

Christina works in California as an LMFT, and she has extensive experience addressing issues such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and intimacy-related concerns. People who want straightforward, steady support often seek her out to build resilience and move forward.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect for each person’s experience. In an online conversation this typically means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what’s said, and helps clarify goals that matter to the client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often includes homework, simple skill practice, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and values. That means checking in about what feels useful and adapting the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions support steady progress while they balance caregiving, work, or health-related challenges.
