About Rajan
Rajan Christian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people handle life’s hard moments. He draws on 15 years of clinical work to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, and other everyday struggles. Rajan speaks plainly and helps clients find steps they can try between sessions.
He often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to clarify values.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas are part of his approach when relationship patterns and family history matter. Rajan also uses client-centered skills to create a respectful space where people set the pace and focus of therapy. His background includes work in nonprofit organizations, county behavioral health, and school districts, plus both outpatient and inpatient settings.
That variety shaped his experience helping people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and career-related stress. He has specific experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and parenting concerns. He has provided crisis response work and has worked directly with suicidal adolescents and adults earlier in his career.
Rajan holds a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - CA LMFT 82016. He provides sessions in English and accepts international clients through online formats. Practical problem solving and clear next steps are central to his style.
How Rajan’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then take action toward a life they value. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations that feel stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present behavior. It can be especially helpful when communication problems, commitment worries, or repeating relationship patterns are a concern.
Rajan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that match those needs. Together they check progress and adjust the approach as needed.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face from different places, while phone, live chat, or text messaging offer options for shorter check-ins or flexible communication. These formats increase access and let people try therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
