About Christina
Christina Tyhurst is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She focuses on everyday challenges like parenting strain, family conflict, workplace stress, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear tools and steady support.
She worked early in her career with children on the autism spectrum and provided in-home applied behavior analysis services, which taught her concrete strategies for building skills and changing behavior.
Background and approach
Later she completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California and gained experience as a school counselor and in a partial hospitalization program at UCLA’s neuropsychiatric hospital. Over time Christina shifted to working with adults. She now helps clients develop boundaries, manage anger, improve communication, and make healthier relationship choices.
She pays attention to how attachment patterns and personal stories shape choices and emotions. In sessions she blends hands-on behavior strategies with cognitive tools and narrative work to help people rewrite unhelpful patterns. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative and specific so clients leave with usable skills.
Christina encourages people to try different therapists until they find the right fit and respects the courage it takes to begin. Her approach suits those who want practical strategies together with exploration of how past relationships influence current life. Christina uses plain language and steady guidance to help people move forward.

How Christina's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice attachment habits, understand why they react certain ways, and try new ways of connecting in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it gives concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, reframe unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite those stories to open different choices and meanings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with the client about goals, everyday challenges, and preferences, and then suggest techniques from these approaches. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts methods over time to match what the client needs and what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face when useful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving demands, or work breaks, while keeping the focus on clear tools and steady progress.
