Christine Tippett , LMFT, LCSW

Christine Tippett is a California-licensed therapist with 40 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, loss, and depression. She holds dual licenses - LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker - reflecting a broad background in therapeutic care and clinical practice. Christine focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored at the client’s pace.

Her approach emphasizes compassionate support and practical coping strategies that can be applied to everyday challenges, from managing persistent worry to adjusting after loss. Christine encourages clients to take the courageous first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life and guides them through that process with patience and professional insight. Whether facing acute stress, prolonged sadness, or the complexities of grieving, she offers steady, experienced guidance aimed at helping people regain balance and clarity.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Christine uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the issues she treats, including targeted stress and anxiety management methods that help people identify triggers, learn practical coping skills, and build routines to reduce daily overwhelm. She also applies grief and loss processing approaches that create space to express emotions, work through adjustment to change, and develop ways to remember and integrate what was lost. For depression, Christine employs structured supportive methods that focus on exploring patterns that maintain low mood and encouraging small behavioral steps to restore engagement and energy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Christine makes that choice collaboratively. She and each client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting techniques over time to fit the individual’s needs. Licensed professionals aim to match methods to the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for Christine’s practice. Video calls and phone sessions allow for live, interactive conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules or when brief check-ins are helpful. These options make it easier to access consistent support without sacrificing the collaborative, evidence-based care she provides.
