About Christine
Christine Berberian is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and other life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, eating and intimacy-related concerns.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversations that focus on what matters at home. She listens for patterns that make everyday life harder and helps people try different ways of handling those patterns. Sessions are meant to be collaborative - she and the client decide what to work on together.
Christine adapts the pace and focus to what each person needs. That can mean short-term coaching for a specific problem, or slower work on deeper issues like attachment and abandonment. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of separation or financial strain.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, and to help with impulsivity, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She aims to make therapeutic tools usable in daily life, not just in the therapy session.
People who come for help leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. If you are thinking about making changes at home or need help sorting through a difficult period, she offers a practical, steady way to move forward.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
There are several evidence-based techniques commonly used to address the issues listed in her biography. One approach focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety and depression; it teaches practical skills for managing mood and impulsivity. Another approach looks at attachment and abandonment patterns in relationships, helping people understand how past experiences shape reactions and communication today.Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that is useful, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, review homework, and support coping between meetings, helping therapeutic work carry over into everyday routines.
