More about Cristian
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
With 8 years of clinical experience, I am a dedicated mental health therapist specializing in a psychodynamic approach while integrating evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care. I emphasize creating a safe, empathetic environment for individuals who have experienced trauma, ensuring my therapeutic interventions respect each client’s unique experiences and emotional needs. My focus is on helping clients gain deep insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to promote long-term healing and resilience. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive, bilingual care to diverse populations facing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
