About Rajan
Rajan Christian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping adults and young people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Parents who are stressed about raising children or handling parenting challenges will find practical, down-to-earth support.
Rajan blends talk-based work with skills practice. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and make small, doable changes.
Background and approach
He also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen relationships and build trust. His background includes work in nonprofit agencies, county behavioral health programs, school districts, and personal clinics. That mix gives him experience with both outpatient and inpatient settings and with people facing crises.
He has also worked on a crisis response team with suicidal adolescents and adults. Rajan emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step plans. Sessions tend to focus on practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, anger, or parenting stress.
He helps clients rehearse new ways of coping and communicate more effectively with people in their lives. People who work with him can expect an approachable, steady presence and a plan tailored to their situation. He offers help for common concerns like depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, ADHD, and adjusting to life changes.

Using practical therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching techniques to notice thoughts without getting swept up in them and by encouraging actions that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, managing anger, and building concrete coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rajan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between appointments, or when typing out thoughts helps with clarity. The combination of thoughtful clinical methods and flexible online formats aims to make therapy more accessible and practical for people juggling parenting, work, and other responsibilities.Questions people ask about Rajan
