About Christina
Christina Tyhurst is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people manage depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to support practical changes in everyday life. Christina aims for straightforward sessions that focus on skills and understanding rather than jargon. She encourages clients to take small, manageable steps toward feeling better.
Christina began her career working in school settings and with children on the autism spectrum, focusing on skill building and positive reinforcement. She later provided in-home services and supervised teams delivering behavior-focused supports. Those early roles shaped her practical, skills-based approach to care.
After earning a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California she completed internships in school counseling and a partial hospitalization program at UCLA’s neuropsychiatric hospital. Those experiences expanded her work with families and young people facing school and behavioral challenges. Christina has since shifted her primary focus to working with adults.
In her current work she helps people develop boundaries, practice mindfulness, manage anger, and build assertiveness. She also explores how attachment patterns and personal narratives influence relationships and emotional health. Sessions mix conversation with concrete tools clients can use between appointments.
Christina believes a good therapist match matters. She invites people to try a few sessions and see how the fit feels. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
