About Christina
Christina Tyhurst is a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and workplace concerns. She supports individuals facing relationship struggles, parenting and family problems, anger, trauma and abuse, and the life changes that come with career shifts or new responsibilities.
Christina brings ten years of hands-on experience in mental health settings. She began working with children on the autism spectrum in school and home-based programs, focusing on skill building and behavior change. She later completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California and held roles in school counseling and a partial hospitalization program at UCLA’s neuropsychiatric hospital.
Over time Christina shifted toward working with adults. Her practice centers on relationship and life skills like boundaries, assertiveness, emotion identification and regulation, and communication. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how early patterns shape current relationships and choices.
In sessions she blends practical techniques with conversations about the stories people tell about themselves. That can mean breaking problems into small, manageable steps, trying new communication strategies, or reworking unhelpful thought patterns. Christina emphasizes a collaborative process where client goals guide what happens in therapy.
She encourages people to try different therapists until they find a good fit and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage. To begin, visitors use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people connect today. It helps with trust, boundaries, and repeating relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, which can reduce shame and open new options for action.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision. She will talk with each person about their goals and try practical tools to see what fits best, adjusting the plan as needed.
