Cristian Iordan, LMFT

Cristian Iordan trained at Loma Linda University and is licensed in California as a Marital and Family Therapist. He is also ordained as a minister, and he brings both clinical training and spiritual sensitivity to his work with people across the lifespan.

With 15 years of experience in outpatient and inpatient settings, Cristian has worked with youth and adults facing a range of mental health concerns. He focuses on areas such as anxiety, depression, premarital counseling, the mental health of medical professionals, and spirituality or religion-based issues. His credential LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a qualification that reflects training to work with individuals, couples, and families.

Cristian frames psychotherapy like a disciplined workout - the effort can feel hard and sometimes frustrating at first, yet it often leads to a calm, restorative result. He guides and accompanies people through the challenges of change, offering steady support as they explore new ways of coping and relating. He views the mind as capable of meaningful transformation and sometimes references spiritual resources as part of the healing journey, drawing on the idea to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Care

Christian integrates several evidence-based approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cristian works collaboratively with people to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques from these therapies to suit individual needs and revisits the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Cristian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and geographical locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during major life changes, for busy professionals, and for clients living outside his state, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to work together effectively toward treatment goals.
