About Rajan

Rajan Christian is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who uses Mindfulness Therapy as a core part of his practice. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. His approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping people find small changes that make daily life more manageable.

Rajan works with adolescents, young adults, and professionals, and he also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns. He pays attention to how attachment and communication shape relationships, and he helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of connection and growth.

He brings 15 years of experience across nonprofit, county behavioral health, school district, and private settings. That range includes outpatient and inpatient care and time spent on a crisis response team. This background gives him familiarity with high-stress situations and complex emotional needs.

Rajan uses a mix of clinical approaches to match each person’s goals. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to support practical change. Sessions often focus on learning new skills, trying different actions, and building clearer communication.

People who want coaching for career shifts, help with substance-related concerns, or support navigating grief and trauma may find his blend of mindfulness and action-oriented work useful. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people follow the platform start process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on building present-moment awareness and simple practices people can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and stress. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions in day-to-day life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports identifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward them. It is useful for depression, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and communication developed over time and helps people shift those patterns to feel safer in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. Depending on current session options, that flexibility can mean shorter check-ins during a break, easier follow-up after an in-person appointment, or being able to work through emotions with regular weekly meetings. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs.

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.
