About Cynthia
Cynthia "Cindi" Christiansen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with 21 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. She communicates in English and works with people seeking practical strategies and clearer communication.
Cindi treats each person as the expert on their own life and starts by listening to what matters most. She helps people identify strengths they already have and uses those strengths to address current problems. Sessions tend to be straightforward and task-focused, with attention to immediate concerns like managing anxiety or navigating a separation.
When addiction or depression is a concern, she helps clients break problems into small steps they can manage. For relationship and communication problems she works on clearer expression and setting boundaries. For life changes, she helps people build routines and coping tools that fit day-to-day demands.
Cindi encourages practical homework between sessions so new habits can form. She frames setbacks as information about what to change next rather than failure. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and create clearer next steps.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location. International clients are not accepted.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful behavior patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives; this helps with everyday anxiety, stress, and the routines that maintain addictive behavior. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and skill practice to improve communication and manage transitions like separation or major life changes; it helps people build clearer steps and measurable progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That process often begins in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily responsibilities. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time for people with tight schedules. Each appointment is designed to translate therapeutic skills into everyday routines.
