About Christopher

Christopher Trujillo is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with 15 years of professional experience. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes, and he brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance to clinical work.

Background and approach

As an LMFT he emphasizes tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique needs and circumstances, helping clients identify practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic work with Christopher focuses on collaboration and empowerment; he supports clients as they explore sources of distress including attachment challenges, abandonment worries, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and difficulties with guilt or shame. He also addresses panic, post-traumatic stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Christopher frames therapy as a courageous step and aims to foster motivation, confidence, and clearer coping strategies as clients pursue meaningful change.

Online approaches and how they support your goals

Christopher integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. ACT helps people clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed actions toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for stress, avoidance, and motivation concerns.

He also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relational patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping clients work through issues such as abandonment, communication problems, and relationship distress. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist partners with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjusts methods as the work unfolds.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and choose the format that best supports their comfort and engagement.
