About Christian
Christian Jacobs is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and parenting concerns. He helps with self-esteem, career struggles, motivation, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance-related issues. He approaches difficult moments with respect, compassion, and a practical mindset.
With nine years of clinical work, he adapts sessions to each person's needs. He aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on skills clients can use between meetings.
Christian uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and emotions without getting swept away by them. He combines that with client-centered conversation to keep the pace and goals aligned with the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when people want to change patterns of thinking and behavior.
He also draws on dialectical behavior strategies for managing strong emotions and on existential ideas when clients are facing big life questions. These methods are woven together rather than applied rigidly, so the plan fits the person’s goals and situation.
Christian works in English and accepts international clients. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire so he can match the approach to their needs. The focus is on steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.
How mindfulness and skills work in online therapy
Christian integrates mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, often used to reduce stress, improve sleep, and manage strong emotions.
He also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and pace. That approach supports people who need space to talk things through and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used for identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and confidence issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan over time. This collaborative process helps find what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, fewer commute interruptions, and easier access when regular in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on mindfulness practices, skills training, or talk-based support depending on what a client wants.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
