About Rajan

Rajan Christian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who brings 15 years of clinical experience to his work with adolescents, young adults, professionals, couples, and families. He specializes in addressing relational challenges and family conflict, as well as difficulties such as depression, anxiety, suicidality, underachievement, failure to launch, and struggles with meaning or purpose in life.

Rajan has worked across nonprofit and for-profit settings, and his background includes both outpatient and inpatient care. His professional experience spans nonprofit corporations, county behavioral health programs, school districts, and privately owned organizations, giving him familiarity with diverse systems and community needs. That range of settings informs a practical, system-aware approach to therapy that considers family dynamics and broader social contexts.

He is trained in EMDR and Trauma Resiliency and spent several years on a crisis response team working directly with suicidal adolescents and adults. This background supports his work with trauma, grief, addiction, and high-risk situations. Rajan combines evidence-informed methods with a client-centered focus to help people navigate life transitions, rebuild relationships, and pursue more purposeful, resilient lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Connection

Rajan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients acknowledge difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that originate in early bonds and helps people improve intimacy, manage abandonment or attachment issues, and strengthen relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for the client's experience, creating a supportive space for building self-esteem, exploring purpose, and working through grief or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rajan works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts interventions over time as those needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels personally relevant and achievable.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations, and can make it easier for clients to access consistent support. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to tailor pacing, homework, and check-ins to each client's daily life and commitments.
