Cristina Perez is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of experience supporting people as they navigate life’s complicated emotional and relational challenges. Her work is rooted in compassion and practical guidance, helping clients make sense of depression, anxiety, stress, and patterns that can affect relationships at home, work, and beyond.
She has particular experience with communication concerns, social anxiety, caregiver stress, and mood-related difficulties. Cristina helps clients strengthen self-esteem, build healthier coping strategies, and develop skills that can support lasting day-to-day change. Her style emphasizes understanding each person’s unique background and current pressures so therapy can be tailored to what is most relevant and useful.
Cristina approaches therapy as a collaborative process where clients can explore emotions without judgment, identify strengths, and practice new ways of responding to challenges. Using evidence-based methods and a client-centered perspective, she supports clients in building resilience, improving emotional well-being, and working toward more satisfying relationships and personal growth.
Cristina Perez uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, understand how those thoughts affect emotions and actions, and practice more balanced ways of responding. CBT is often useful for concerns like anxiety, stress, low mood, self-esteem challenges, and daily overwhelm.
She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy, which supports clients in exploring how past experiences may still shape present reactions, relationships, and coping strategies. This approach can be helpful for people working through trauma and abuse, as well as those dealing with heightened stress responses or emotional triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cristina works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel practical and supportive. Therapy can evolve over time as needs change, and licensed professionals can help guide that adjustment with intention.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from week to week.
