About Christine
Christine Tippett helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She names the changes people want and works with them on clear steps toward feeling steadier. She is licensed in California and brings decades of experience to her work.
Christine creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about hard things. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help day to day.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that sap energy and for small shifts that can make life feel more manageable. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She asks questions, offers observations, and helps people try new ways of coping between sessions.
Progress is planned in small, realistic steps so change feels possible. With 40 years in the field, Christine has worked through many common life transitions and losses. That experience shapes how she notices grief, low mood, and anxiety, and how she tailors support to each person.
People who come to Christine typically want practical tools and a steady listener. She helps clarify goals, test approaches, and adjust plans as life shifts. The aim is to help people regain more energy, clarity, and a sense of control.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach she uses is problem-focused work, which helps identify specific stressors and builds step-by-step plans to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. This method is useful for tackling anxiety and routine stressors.She also draws on grief-focused support, which helps people make sense of loss and find ways to remember, adapt, and move forward. This style involves listening closely, validating difficult feelings, and suggesting small actions that ease adjustment over time.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days for quick support or between-session check-ins. These formats make it simpler to keep a regular schedule and to get help without long travel times.
