About Cristian Iordan

Cristian Iordan is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who combines clinical training with spiritual insight. Trained at Loma Linda University and ordained as a minister, he brings 15 years of experience working in both outpatient and inpatient settings with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns.

He is licensed as an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and he focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of emphasis include abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, family of origin difficulties, fatherhood issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, jealousy, questions of life purpose, and money and financial concerns.

His clinical work draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). He frames therapeutic progress like a structured exercise routine - acknowledging the hard, sometimes frustrating work that leads to growth and a deeper sense of calm. Throughout treatment he supports clients as they learn practical skills, process difficult emotions, and explore meaningful change.

Fluent in English and Romanian, he integrates clinical expertise with an appreciation for each person’s unique life story, helping clients move toward clearer communication, healthier relationships, and more sustainable coping strategies.

This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care during changing circumstances.

Licensed professionals offer the same therapeutic approaches through remote sessions that they would in person, and clients can switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, effective path to support and growth.
