Christine Tippett is a licensed clinician in California with 40 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She creates a calm space where people can say what they are feeling.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical support and steady guidance for someone ready to make a change. Her sessions are straightforward and conversational.

She listens first, then helps people sort through what matters most. Together they identify small, workable steps to reduce overwhelm and manage daily mood shifts.

Christine draws on long experience across a range of clinical settings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address feelings of loss and persistent worry.

Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs and comfort level. People seeking help can expect a warm, nonjudgmental presence and clear, goal-oriented conversations.

She aims to help clients build coping strategies they can use between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.

She works in English and does not take international clients.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life changes. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it against everyday experience to reduce anxiety and mood swings. This helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck and try different responses in daily life.

Another approach emphasizes coping with grief and loss through gradual processing and practical routines. It supports remembering, making meaning, and rebuilding daily rhythm after a loss. These methods aim to reduce overwhelm and make days feel more manageable.

Choosing the right way to work is part of the therapy process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest approaches that fit. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
