About Rajan

Rajan Christian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works primarily with adolescents, young adults, professionals, couples, and families. He focuses on relational concerns and family conflict while also addressing depression, suicidality, academic underachievement, difficulty launching into adulthood, and struggles with meaning or purpose in life. His approach is informed by training in trauma-focused methods and crisis response, and he brings practical experience working directly with individuals in moments of acute need.

Rajan has substantial experience across nonprofit and for-profit environments, providing care on both outpatient and inpatient teams. He has worked for nonprofit organizations, county behavioral health programs, school districts, and privately owned for-profit corporations, adapting interventions to fit diverse settings and client needs. He is trained in EMDR and Trauma Resiliency approaches and served on a crisis response team supporting suicidal adolescents and adults, experience that shapes his readiness to address high-risk and trauma-related presentations.

Rajan combines clinical training with a collaborative, client-centered stance, helping people and families navigate relationships, recovery, and life transitions while attending to safety and practical coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and struggles with purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed early in life, exploring how attachment styles affect current relationships and helping clients build more secure connections, which can aid couples, families, and individuals with relationship or abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering empathic understanding and support to foster self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth, which can be helpful for those facing identity, transition, or self-worth issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rajan collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to relationship issues, trauma recovery, life transitions, and other concerns.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, easier access for participants in different locations, and options that can better fit busy or changing lives. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to maintain continuity of care and to involve partners or family members when it supports treatment goals.
