About Christin

Christin Conkle is a California-licensed LMFT with two decades of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with concerns that include mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, body image and disordered eating, attachment issues, and women’s issues, and offers attentive care for LGBT clients. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while addressing communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

Christin draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to shape individualized treatment plans, tailoring conversations and strategies to each person’s needs. She helps clients build practical skills for coping, enhance emotional awareness, and strengthen relational patterns through structured techniques and mindful practices.

Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life is acknowledged as an act of courage, and she positions herself as a steady collaborator in that work, balancing goal-oriented tools with empathic support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christin commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult emotions to help people move toward a meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.

She treats selection of methods as a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of approaches best fits their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That shared exploration helps shape a tailored plan that balances skills training, experiential exercises, and reflective work.

Online formats available include video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it possible to maintain consistent care across different schedules and locations within California while using therapeutic tools that translate well to virtual settings.
