About Rajan
Rajan Christian is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. He uses approaches like EMDR alongside talk-based methods to help people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and parenting concerns. He focuses on practical, easy-to-follow steps in sessions.
He listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck, then helps build new ways of coping. Sessions can include processing painful memories as well as learning tools for day-to-day stress and mood management.
Background and approach
Rajan has worked in a mix of settings, including county behavioral health, school districts, nonprofit programs, and personal clinics. That variety shaped his comfort with both outpatient and inpatient situations and with people at different points in life. People bring many concerns to his work - stress, grief, addiction, anger, ADHD, and identity or meaning questions.
He also addresses attachment and communication struggles, parenting strain, body image, and difficulties that come after trauma or loss. In sessions he blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive techniques, and client-centered listening. He aims to help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful reactions, and try behavior changes that fit their life.
EMDR is one tool he may use when it fits the client’s goals and history.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small actions toward them while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It often suits people facing life transitions, anxiety, or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, which can help with intimacy, communication problems, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and history, try techniques that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients often combine approaches to address both practical skills and deeper relational patterns.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper work, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
