Christiane Soehnlein

Christiane Soehnlein is a California LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck by anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, trauma or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing issues like abandonment, codependency, infidelity, midlife questions, and worries about life purpose.

Sessions begin with straightforward talk about what feels most pressing. Christiane listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and behavior. She and the client set clear short-term and longer-term goals and check progress along the way.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and underlying patterns. Conversations may focus on communication habits, boundaries, impulse control, and rebuilding trust after betrayal. She also attends to issues that follow medical events such as cancer or postpartum mood changes.

Christiane draws on two decades of experience to help people make practical changes in daily life. That can mean trying new ways to speak with a partner, practicing different reactions to stress, or testing small experiments that shift routine behavior. She explains options and helps clients pick what to try next.

Sessions are offered in English and German. Christiane practices in California and uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions

Christiane draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and improving relationship patterns. Cognitive-behavioral style work looks at how thoughts influence mood and actions, and introduces practical exercises to test new reactions to stress and anxiety. Relationship-focused methods examine communication habits, boundaries, and trust, helping clients try different ways of talking and relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christiane partners with clients to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress and feedback guide the next steps. This collaborative process helps clients see what helps and what needs revising.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time, or scheduling shorter check-ins when needed. Christiane also notes that subscription scheduling can be canceled at any time, which may make it easier to manage ongoing appointments alongside other commitments.
