About Christine
Christine Berberian is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or struggles with parenting and addiction. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping clients take realistic steps toward change.
She uses a tailored approach in sessions, shaping conversations and plans to match each person’s needs. That might mean working on communication skills, managing strong feelings, or building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Christine also pays attention to issues like self-esteem, body image, and the lasting effects of trauma and abandonment. Clients often bring complex life changes such as divorce, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or career transitions. Christine helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and make decisions that fit their values.
She also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, depression, or impulse-related problems by offering steady practical strategies. Therapy sessions can include coaching elements alongside psychotherapy to help clients reach short-term goals and long-term change. Christine emphasizes clear steps and everyday tools rather than abstract ideas.
Her work with parenting concerns focuses on helping parents manage stress, set limits, and feel more confident. She conducts sessions in English and delivers services through multiple online formats. People interested in starting can expect a collaborative conversation about goals, a flexible plan, and ongoing adjustments as needs evolve.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Christine draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and clearer communication. One approach emphasizes skill building for managing strong emotions and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Another approach centers on interpersonal skills and attachment-related patterns, helping people notice unhelpful relationship cycles and practice new ways of asking for needs and setting boundaries. This work is useful for parenting concerns, relationship tension, and healing from abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a persons goals and lifestyle, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and choose the techniques that feel most useful for their situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper discussion and skill practice, phone calls can be easier on low-bandwidth days, and messaging or live chat supports brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy routines and keep momentum between meetings.
