About Christiane
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in California with 20 years of clinical experience, Christiane Soehnlein helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
Christiane speaks English and German. She works with individuals who want clearer communication, more reliable mood regulation, or help processing difficult events. Her approach centers on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques and on shaping a treatment plan that fits a person's personality and history.
Sessions begin with a focused assessment of current problems and goals. Christiane and the client set short- and mid-term aims and use structured methods to track progress. Conversations cover patterns in relationships, responses to stress, and ways to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, emptiness, impulsivity, infidelity, jealousy, life purpose, midlife crisis, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and cancer-related stress. The work mixes practical skills, behavioral strategies, and reflection on life choices.
Christiane emphasizes collaboration. She helps people choose techniques that fit their needs and adjusts the plan as therapy proceeds. To begin, the site matching process is used to schedule an initial session and create a plan tailored to the person.
Sheet 2
Approaches used in online work and what they help with
The biography notes use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than naming specific modalities. Two common evidence-based directions that align with her focus are cognitive-behavioral approaches and trauma-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teach concrete skills for mood and anxiety management. These methods work well for depression, anxiety, stress, and impulse-related concerns.Trauma-focused strategies center on processing difficult experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. They include paced exposure to difficult memories, grounding skills, and managing physical and emotional reactions. These techniques are often used when trauma, abuse, or long-standing relationship wounds are present.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will assess your goals and preferences in the first sessions and then recommend techniques that fit. Plans are revised as progress is tracked, and the client helps set priorities and pacing.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional remotely can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit short check-ins into a workday. Telephone options can allow a session without video, while video sessions enable face-to-face interaction. Ask about formats and practical arrangements when you schedule the first appointment.
