About Christine
Christine Rodriguez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California who focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns. She helps people who feel disconnected from partners, struggle with communication, or face challenges around sex and closeness. Her work also addresses stress, anxiety, identity and self-esteem issues tied to relationships and sexuality.
Christine takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. She helps people notice patterns that fuel conflict and teaches simple communication and coping skills. Sessions often include exercises to rebuild trust, increase emotional safety, and restore affection and attraction.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and additional training in sex therapy and sex education from the University of Michigan. She has four years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples around intimacy, infidelity, and related concerns.
Christine draws from several evidence-informed methods. She blends Attachment-Based ideas with Emotionally-Focused work to address how early bonds shape adult relationships. She uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict, and employs cognitive behavioral techniques for stress and anxiety.
Clients can expect clear, step-by-step guidance and exercises between sessions. The aim is to create practical changes that improve daily interactions, sexual satisfaction, and emotional connection.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape adult relationships. It helps people identify patterns of closeness and distance and learn new ways to respond to a partner. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the emotions that underlie conflicts. It helps people name feelings, ask for what they need, and rebuild safety in emotional bonds. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for communication, managing conflict, and increasing positive interactions in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend methods that match your situation. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps you make steady progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people join from different locations. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to online conversations and exercises to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday changes.
