About Christina
Christina Tyhurst is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressure, anger, trauma, career problems, and major life changes. Christina writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel reachable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She began her career working in school settings and in applied behavior analysis programs for children with autism. That early work focused on teaching daily living skills, behavior changes, and using positive reinforcement to build competence. Christina later supervised teams, provided parent coaching, and coordinated care for multiple family caseloads.
After earning a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California she shifted toward adult work. Today she focuses on practical life and relationship skills such as boundaries, assertiveness, anger management, and emotion identification and regulation. She draws on methods from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative therapy to help people understand patterns and try new behaviors.
Her sessions emphasize building a strong working fit between therapist and client. Christina describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients shape goals and try skills between meetings. She encourages people to shop for a good match and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.
Christina practices in California and offers services in English. Prospective clients can expect straightforward, skills-focused conversations aimed at making daily life more manageable and relationships clearer.
