About Christine
Christine Berberian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Christine also supports those facing addiction, grief, relationship and family conflicts, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She listens closely, then tailors conversations and a plan to each person's needs. Christine aims to make the process feel manageable, one step at a time, and she frames change as a series of doable decisions rather than a single leap.
In sessions she works collaboratively with clients to identify patterns that get in the way. She addresses problems like impulsivity, anger, caregiver stress, and chronic illness-related strain in practical ways. Money and financial issues are also part of her focus when those concerns affect daily life and relationships.
Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new habits, and notice what helps in everyday life. Her aim is to support lasting changes that fit the client’s values and routine.
She invites people who are thinking about change to take a first step. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling conversation so the work can start when it fits the client’s life.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that cause distress and practicing new behaviors to change those patterns; this helps with anxiety, impulsivity, and relationship problems. Another approach emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and building step-by-step habits to improve mood, manage addiction triggers, and handle life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to understand needs, goals, and personal preferences, then adjust methods as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and try techniques to see what fits their life best.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support consistent progress by making regular sessions easier to attend and integrating tools and homework into daily routines.
