About Rajan
Rajan Christian is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. He also works with people facing trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, and career or life-change questions.
He uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. He leans on cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance work to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and change what isn’t working. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and intimacy concerns.
Rajan has worked across nonprofit, county behavioral health, school district, outpatient, and inpatient settings. That mix means he has experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapeutic planning. He has worked on crisis response teams with suicidal adolescents and adults, and he has clinical experience in trauma-related care.
In sessions he often focuses on concrete skills - breathing, behavioral experiments, values-based choices, and communication practices. He combines those skills with deeper work about meaning, commitment, and relationship patterns when that fits the client’s goals. He includes EMDR-informed interventions as part of trauma-focused work when appropriate.
People who come to him for anger-related concerns usually explore triggers, patterns of escalation, and practical strategies to reduce harm and repair connections. He encourages clear goals and routine check-ins to track progress and adjust the plan if needed.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Rajan often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that align with what matters. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses experiments and practice to change unhelpful patterns.He also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and intimacy issues. Attachment work helps people recognize automatic relational responses and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, whether that means short-term skills for anger or longer work on relationship patterns. The choice of techniques evolves as goals and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person appointments. Some formats may lend themselves to a shorter check-in, while others support longer skill practice and deep processing. Discuss scheduling preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what works best for everyday life.
