About Christian
Christian Jacobs is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, career worries, self-esteem problems, and the practical pressures that come with young adulthood. He also supports clients facing trauma, addiction concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
Christian uses straightforward conversation in sessions. He listens for what matters most and works with each person to set clear goals. He draws on client-centered methods to focus the work around the person's priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Beyond those methods, he brings tools from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and from existential approaches when clients are dealing with questions about meaning and choice. He also incorporates aspects of the Gottman Method for people addressing relationship patterns and communication problems. Sessions mix skill practice, reflection, and concrete next steps to test in everyday life.
Christian has supported people with parenting and fatherhood concerns, blended family challenges, codependency, and caregiver stress. He also has experience with chronic health issues, body image, abandonment and attachment concerns, and problems related to substance use.
Sessions are conducted in English and Christian works with clients in California while also accepting international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they know how therapy will fit into their life.
How Christian uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps when someone needs a trusted space to sort through decisions, relationship questions, or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood, and work or study stress by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christian will collaborate with clients to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT skills work, or DBT-based emotion tools are the best fit. This happens through discussion and trying techniques together, adjusting based on what helps the person meet their goals.
