About Kristian
LMFT in California with 15 years of clinical experience, Kristian Skillman helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, trauma, and depression.
Kristian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She focuses on practical work in sessions that addresses immediate problems and longer term patterns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people regain stability after loss, separation, or traumatic events.
Her approach is direct and conversational. Sessions typically include talking through recent events, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new ways of responding. She also addresses related concerns such as guilt, shame, isolation, life purpose, and self-love.
People come to her for help with relationship strain, divorce and separation issues, and parenting stress. She also works with symptoms of post-traumatic stress and the emotional aftermath of abuse. The emphasis is on clear steps people can try between sessions.
Kristian draws on a mix of techniques that are supported by research to reduce anxiety and improve coping after trauma. She aims to make next steps concrete and manageable so clients can test changes in day-to-day life. To begin, she asks people to describe their main problem, recent history, and what they want to change.

Approaches used in remote sessions and practical benefits
Kristian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving daily coping. One common approach she relies on breaks down anxiety into clear triggers and responses, then teaches practical skills to change those responses over time. This helps people manage panic, worry, and ongoing stress in everyday situations.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult memories and reduce post-traumatic symptoms. This involves pacing the work to avoid overwhelm, naming the effects of trauma, and rehearsing safer ways of responding to reminders or flashbacks.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, current needs, and how they prefer to work. That discussion guides the plan and any adjustments along the way.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking, as the original biography does not specify which online options are used. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with her during the matching process about how sessions can fit into your schedule and what practical arrangements will work best.
