Christina Chituc, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christina!

Life can feel messy and overwhelming to navigate, but I firmly believe you hold the capacity for growth—and, if desired, change. I offer a collaborative space to process your experiences and gain clarity and insight. Together, we can work toward healing and becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

My focus

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating something new, or seeking deeper understanding, we’ll work at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful.

My approach

My approach is adaptable and grounded in both insight and skill-building. I tailor sessions to your needs, drawing from CBT, DBT, client-centered, MI, and other various modalities to support exploration and help you access the strengths and answers within you. I adjust between insight-oriented and skills-based work depending on your goals.

My communication style

My style is attentive, direct, and nonjudgmental. I listen closely and offer reflections, honest feedback, and gentle challenges when helpful. The objective as your therapist is to understand you as you intend to be understood, while adapting to your needs—whether that be conversational, more structured, or both.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this field early on, influenced by both personal experiences and witnessing the resilience of those around me. Being part of meaningful moments of growth and change continues to shape my work and reinforce my belief in each person’s capacity to heal and move forward.

My goals for you

We would work collaboratively to define meaningful goals and break them down. As we explore and build insight/skills, we track progress made and adjust along the way as needed. Goals can evolve, and I support you in staying engaged and moving toward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

Our first session

This is an opportunity for us to connect and explore what brings you in. We’ll have a conversation, I’ll ask questions, and we may begin outlining what you’d like to work toward, continuing to refine that as we move forward. Wherever you are in the process, seeking therapy is a meaningful step, and I aim to meet you with attunement and compassion.
