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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
