About Rajan
Rajan Christian is an LMFT with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical work that helps people manage stress, mood problems, and challenges with attention and focus. He talks plainly and aims to make therapy useful and understandable for busy families and individuals.
Rajan draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help clients notice difficult feelings and take steps toward what matters to them.
Background and approach
Many people come to him for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, grief, or difficulties with relationships and parenting. He also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, addiction, or major life transitions. Sessions are focused on skills, problem solving, and clearer priorities rather than only talking about past events.
His background includes work across nonprofit, county behavioral health, school district, outpatient, and inpatient settings. That variety shaped his approach to crises, safety planning, and short-term problem solving. He aims to be straightforward about next steps and practical strategies between sessions.
Rajan offers a calm, direct style that emphasizes collaboration. He helps clients set concrete goals and practice tools that fit daily life. This makes it easier to try small changes and measure progress over time.
Practical approaches for online support
Rajan uses cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward valued goals, useful for managing stress, life transitions, and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and daily routines. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice, while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to get shorter check-ins, work through exercises between meetings, and keep momentum during busy weeks. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a client’s life.
