About Christina

Christina Tyhurst is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, parenting strain, anger, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.

Christina uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Attachment-based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to practice new thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Narrative therapy helps people rewrite stories they tell about themselves. Her earlier work focused on children with autism and involved behavior-based teaching and parent training. That background informs how she approaches skill-building, routine, and communication with adults.

Over time she moved toward work with adults and young adults to focus on relationships, boundaries, and emotion skills. In sessions clients can expect straightforward goal-setting and exercises they can try between meetings. Christina emphasizes building a good fit between therapist and client and invites people to find the right match.

She encourages small steps and practical tools to ease daily life. She works with a range of concerns including attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, workplace problems, postpartum depression, and family-of-origin difficulties. Her practice centers on helping people recognize patterns and take actionable steps toward healthier relationships and better emotional balance.

Online support

Attachment and Skills Work Through Online Sessions

Christina combines Attachment-based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work to help people notice patterns and learn new ways of relating. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and connection, which can help with trust, boundaries, and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christina collaborates with each person to test what feels most useful, adjusting methods to match goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are interactive and paced to fit what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
