About Christine
Christine Rodriguez, LCSW, focuses on helping people improve their relationships and sexual lives. She works with individuals who feel disconnected, struggle with communication, or are dealing with the fallout of an affair. Christine uses practical tools to help people restore closeness and rebuild trust in their relationships.
She draws on a mix of approaches that match what each person needs. That can mean learning new ways to talk so conflicts get resolved instead of repeated. It can also mean exercises to increase fondness, reduce reactivity, and improve emotional and physical intimacy.
Christine earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2017. She also completed a Sexual Health Certificate Program in Sex Therapy and Sex Education at the University of Michigan in 2024. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker license in California and has four years of clinical experience.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and concrete skills. People can expect direct guidance, communication practice, and behavioral strategies they can try between meetings. The aim is steady progress, not a single quick fix.
Christine often combines emotional work with practical steps that fit everyday life. She pays attention to attachment patterns, sexual concerns, and how stress or anxiety affects relationships. If a person wants to focus on men's wellbeing, she is able to discuss those concerns as part of relationship and intimacy work, while tailoring the approach to each person.
How Christine’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and distance that people repeat in relationships. Online work can identify those patterns and practice new ways of connecting in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and stress; online sessions can include homework and brief experiments between meetings to test what works.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies from different methods. That way the plan is tailored, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session options before booking, since session formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice communication and exercises in contexts that match daily life, try shorter check-ins when needed, or use sessions without being on camera if that helps focus. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approaches for effective work over distance.
