About Rajan
Rajan Christian is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and anger. He also supports clients struggling with depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and career concerns.
He commonly sees adolescents and adults and has experience in nonprofit, county behavioral health, school district, outpatient, and inpatient settings. That background means he is used to short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. He has worked directly with suicidal adolescents and adults on a crisis response team.
Rajan uses practical, talk-based approaches in session. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how he explores relationships and communication.
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can take between meetings. He helps clients name what they feel, practice different responses, and build routines that reduce reactivity. Work can include addressing control issues, codependency, or coping with losses and big life changes.
People who come for anger concerns often want clearer boundaries, less frequent outbursts, or help managing resentment. Rajan helps clients look at the beliefs and habits behind their anger and practice alternative ways to respond. He also integrates approaches useful for trauma-related symptoms when that is part of the picture.
How Rajan blends approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anger that comes from rigid thinking or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the cycle of thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anger related to rumination, workplace frustration, or relationship triggers. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect reactions. It can help people understand why they respond strongly to perceived rejection or control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide what fits best based on your goals, history, and how you prefer to work. That choice is revisited as progress is made so methods can shift when needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video would be difficult, or schedule sessions around work breaks. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
