About Rajan

Rajan Christian is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of practice in California. He focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles. He often works with adolescents, young adults, and professionals who are trying to find more meaning or steady their next steps.

Rajan draws from several practical approaches to help people cope and change. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try small behavior changes that make a difference.

His background includes work in nonprofit agencies, county behavioral health, school districts, and private settings. He has experience with both outpatient and inpatient care and has spent time on a crisis response team supporting people in acute distress.

Clients may come for help with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting stress, career transitions, or difficulties with intimacy and communication. He also works with ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment.

Rajan describes himself as practical and straightforward. In sessions he helps people talk through problems, practice new skills, and set small goals that fit their life. To begin, users typically complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. Online ACT can guide someone through noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing small value-based steps between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing new responses; in online work this often means setting simple experiments or homework to try during the week. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and safety in close connections, and online sessions can be used to process those patterns and rehearse new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new concerns arise.

Session format options are not specified in this profile, so confirm current offerings before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to assign practical exercises, review progress, and support step-by-step behavior changes that fit everyday life.
