About Cristina
Cristina Rodriguez is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. Cristina aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what's on their mind. Conversations are straightforward and focused on the things that get in the way of daily life.
How Cristina works
Cristina listens for patterns in attachment and communication that affect relationships and mood. Sessions often focus on practical skills for managing panic, social anxiety, and mood shifts. She also helps people work through big life transitions such as separation or divorce and the emotional fallout that follows.
Forgiveness, self-love, and clarifying life purpose are common themes in longer-term work. Cristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress and panic disorder symptoms. She supports people in building confidence and improving how they relate to others through clearer communication and healthier boundaries.
Her approach balances empathy with practical tools so clients leave sessions with steps they can try between meetings. She partners with people to set realistic goals and track progress. The aim is steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches offered online
Cristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. This helps people learn skills to manage panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent worry.Another common strand of her work addresses attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships. Sessions often include practicing clearer communication, setting boundaries, and repairing connection after conflict. These tools support recovery from relationship strain, separation, or ongoing communication problems.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Cristina works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She reviews what’s working and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins, coping tools between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
