Kriss Light , LMFT

Kriss Light is a Jungian certificated psychotherapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She integrates depth psychology language - terms such as Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus, and individuation - into her work to help bring hidden patterns and feelings into conscious awareness. Depth-oriented work is presented as relevant across the lifespan and to people from diverse backgrounds.

In session she and the client explore life events, losses, transitions, stressors, and health-related concerns with curiosity and care. Making unconscious material conscious is used as a way to reduce projection onto others, clarify values, and support greater self-acceptance. This inner exploration aims to create clearer decision-making at life crossroads and to foster a sense of peace and direction even amid difficult challenges.

Her interests include comparative religion and Jungian studies, and a background in music informs a creative stance toward therapy. She offers a free phone consultation and states that phone messages will be returned within 24 hours. If she is not the right fit for a prospective client, she will provide three referrals to help identify other options. LMFT indicates she is a licensed clinician trained to work with individuals, couples, and families on relationship and mental health matters.

Depth-Informed Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kriss Light integrates a blend of therapeutic approaches to meet a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how early relationships shape current bonds; this approach is useful for addressing intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, and relationship distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth; it supports self-esteem, coping with life changes, and personal discovery by creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often applied to symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work itself. Kriss Light works collaboratively with each client to explore goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and to determine which methods or combination of methods feel most helpful. This collaborative process supports gradual adjustments based on what proves most effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, therapists can maintain continuity of care, adapt communication style to client needs, and make scheduling more convenient. For many clients, these options increase accessibility and support consistent progress between sessions with licensed professionals.
