About Christian
Christian Jacobs is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, career challenges, and problems with sleep and anger. He also works with those coping with addiction, trauma and grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Christian keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. He listens first, then helps people name what matters to them. He tailors conversations and practical steps to a person’s life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Therapy sessions aim to build useful habits and clearer choices over time. His style blends direct talk with moments of reflection. Christian uses thoughtful questions to help people consider values, meaning, and everyday behavior.
He brings techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches when practical skills are needed for mood, impulse control, or stress management. He also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s experience and goals. That means the pace, topics, and methods shift to fit each person.
Christian emphasizes collaboration and practical next steps after each session. With nine years of experience as an LMFT, he has supported people through life changes, caregiving strain, chronic health concerns, and complicated family situations. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients through online formats.

Online support
Approach and access: therapy methods for online care
Christian blends Existential Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, values, and life choices, helping people who feel stuck or unsure about direction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace, making sure sessions follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical strategies for mood, anxiety, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on symptoms, goals, and preferences. Sessions often combine reflective conversation about values with concrete tools for coping and behavior change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper interpersonal work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking goals, or getting support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
