Joseph Christensen, LMFT

Joseph Christensen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 24 years of clinical experience. He brings a collaborative, client-centered approach and works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, and challenges related to career or life transitions.

His work also addresses family and parenting dynamics, blended family issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication difficulties, social anxiety and phobia, and the needs of veterans and armed forces members. He offers coaching-oriented support for self-esteem, life purpose, and self-love while assisting clients coping with isolation, forgiveness, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters.

Clinically, he integrates client-centered principles with evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential and Jungian perspectives, mindfulness, narrative work, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions. As an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist trained to address relational and family systems - he emphasizes an empathetic, non-judgmental, and solution-focused stance that aligns treatment to each person or family’s priorities and goals.

Joseph frames therapy around the individual’s needs and pace, offering brief, intermediate, or longer-term work depending on the situation. He aims to support practical change and deeper understanding so clients can move toward greater resilience and improved relationships.
