About Christina
Christina "Chris" Sanchez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. Chris creates a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard and start making changes at a pace that feels manageable. They focus on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.
Chris helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety. They assist with relationship concerns and family conflict, and they support people facing life transitions or low motivation.
How Christina works
Work on self-esteem, confidence, body image, and issues around sexuality is also part of their practice. People also come to Chris for help managing chronic pain, illness, or disability, and for emotional struggles like guilt, shame, isolation, or post-traumatic stress. Communication problems, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose are common topics in sessions.
The approach stays grounded and action-oriented so clients leave with clear next steps. In sessions Chris aims to make it easy to speak honestly. They emphasize listening, practical problem solving, and building small skills that add up over time.
Sessions are respectful of each person’s pace and identity. Chris supports exploration of forgiveness, self-love, and healing from past hurts. They invite clients to set goals together and to try approaches that feel right for their life.
The focus is on steady progress toward a more satisfying day-to-day life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Chris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breath work, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations; these tools aim to reduce day-to-day distress and improve functioning. Another strand of work emphasizes communication and relationship skills to help people express needs, set boundaries, and repair misunderstandings; this is useful for recurring conflicts and workplace tension. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chris will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they set small goals, try methods in-session, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats support flexible care. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, processing thoughts between sessions, or when writing helps someone clarify feelings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and health demands.Start online instead of waiting
