About Christin

Christin Conkle is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She supports parents facing parenting challenges and people coping with major life changes.

Background and approach

She also works with clients on LGBT issues and body image concerns. With 20 years of professional experience in California, Christin uses straightforward, respectful care.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

Her work often includes tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people live according to their values.

Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas appear in sessions to build calm and actionable steps. Christin helps clients address attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood disorders. Women’s issues and life purpose conversations are included when relevant.

Her approach is warm and practical. She listens first, then offers techniques and small experiments to try between sessions.

Many people come for short-term work and leave with tools they can continue using on their own.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, social anxiety, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings feel overwhelming. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to change and then try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written support between appointments. These options help people access care around their schedules and needs.
