About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Occhipinti is a California-licensed therapist with 22 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, grief, and loss. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings a relational perspective to care, focusing on how patterns in partnerships and families influence individual well-being. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, honoring each person’s unique story while offering practical tools to move forward.

She tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Dr. Occhipinti emphasizes empowerment, helping clients identify values, build coping strategies, and take concrete steps toward a more fulfilling life. Seeking change can take courage, and she frames the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey that supports growth, healing, and renewed purpose.

With a background spanning over two decades, Dr. Occhipinti works with individuals and families confronting a range of life transitions and emotional challenges. Her steady, person-centered manner aims to create space for honest exploration and meaningful progress, whether the focus is symptom relief, relationship repair, or adapting to significant life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for managing depression, anxiety, and coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving clients a supportive space to explore emotions and build self-understanding, which often benefits relationship and grief work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Tammy Occhipinti works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques from these approaches to create a personalized plan that fits each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support may happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life changes, and to access support from licensed professionals without added travel time.
