Christine Rodriguez

Christine Rodriguez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing relationship and intimacy challenges. She focuses on improving communication, easing anxiety around sex and closeness, and repairing trust after affairs. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at small changes that make daily life feel better.

Clients meet a therapist who blends talking with concrete exercises. Sessions include learning ways to talk so partners feel heard, building skills for emotional connection, and trying short practices to reduce stress. Christine uses straightforward tools so people can practice between sessions and notice real shifts.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Sexual Health Certificate Program in Sex Therapy and Sex Education from the University of Michigan completed in 2024. She holds a California LCSW and has four years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples on relationship and sexual concerns.

Therapy draws on attachment ideas, mindfulness, and proven conversation techniques from the Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when patterns of thought and behavior keep people stuck. The aim is to help clients feel clearer about needs, less overwhelmed by shame or anxiety, and more able to choose actions that match their values.

People who want practical strategies for connection and intimacy often find this approach useful. Before scheduling, confirm current session options and logistics to match personal needs.

How Christine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Christine uses mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice their reactions in the moment and practice calmer responses; this can reduce stress and make conversations feel less reactive. Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients understand patterns of closeness and distance so they can try new, safer ways of asking for support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and small experiments to test new ways of responding.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or couple to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Choices are adjusted as therapy unfolds rather than fixed at the start.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins when life gets hectic. It also lets people try practices together in their everyday environment and brings therapeutic tools into real-world moments.
