About Tiffany
Tiffany Whittington is a California LMFT with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem and coping with life changes. Tiffany frames therapy around the client's own story and strengths. She asks direct questions and listens for practical steps someone can take between sessions.
In session she helps people break down what feels overwhelming. Conversations often focus on clearer thinking, building everyday coping skills, and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. She also supports people working through attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Tiffany addresses life events such as divorce, separation, and major transitions. She talks with people about guilt and shame when those feelings are part of the problem. She helps clients consider forgiveness as one possible option among others, without pressuring any particular outcome.
When trauma or post-traumatic stress are present, she works step by step and at the client’s pace. Panic symptoms, social anxiety, and mood changes are attended to with an emphasis on immediate strategies to reduce distress. Tiffany uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on small, workable changes.
Her style centers on collaboration - she treats clients as the experts on their lives and offers tools to test between-session options. Sessions look at concrete problems first, then broaden into long-term goals as trust and clarity grow.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used with clients include cognitive-behavioral approaches, which look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teach practical skills for anxiety, panic, and mood issues. These methods focus on testing small changes and trying new behaviors between meetings.Another commonly used method addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress through paced, stepwise work that builds tolerance for difficult memories and reduces overwhelming reactions. This approach prioritizes gradual skill-building and grounding strategies that help with panic and intense distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about what feels most useful and adapt methods to goals and preferences. Choices are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress and feedback guide the process.

Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or use phone-based sessions when video is not practical. Licensed professionals can use these practical arrangements to help clients apply tools in real life without requiring major changes to daily routines.
