About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and life transitions. Christina aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for everyday life.
She uses an existential lens to help people name what matters to them and make choices that match those values. Christina also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to improve relationships and build self-compassion.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when clients want concrete skills for mood, sleep, or impulse control. Her work commonly addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, grief, intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Christina also supports people coping with chronic illness, addiction, domestic violence recovery, and the fallout from major life changes.
Sessions can include coaching-style planning as well as deeper reflective work. Christina notes a Christian-informed perspective and respects clients who want their values considered in treatment. She focuses on helping people reduce symptoms while also finding meaning and direction.
The result is a practical, person-focused approach that balances short-term skills with longer-term exploration. Clients meet by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English in California.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christina commonly integrates Existential Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. Existential Therapy helps people clarify values, face difficult choices, and find meaning when life feels uncertain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape stress and connection, and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, offering empathy, and following the client's lead so goals emerge naturally.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Christina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She may use skill-based CBT or DBT techniques alongside reflective existential work when a client wants both immediate tools and deeper exploration.
Online therapy with Christina can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style planning, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
