About Tiffany
Tiffany Whittington is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce stress and manage anxiety. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Tiffany writes and talks plainly and aims to make the first move toward therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. With ten years of professional experience, Tiffany draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills and make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on coping strategies for panic, mood concerns, and social anxiety, along with ways to rebuild confidence after trauma or loss. She emphasizes short-term tools as well as deeper work on patterns that cause repeated distress. Tiffany believes people know their own stories and brings a collaborative approach to each meeting.
She listens for strengths you already have and helps apply them to current problems. This includes practical communication skills, managing control issues, and dealing with guilt or shame. She also helps people facing caregiver stress, body image concerns, attachment issues, and the fallout of separation or divorce.
Work can include making a plan to reduce substance use or addressing post-traumatic stress symptoms in manageable steps. Tiffany practices in California and offers sessions in English. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients move toward clearer goals and steadier days.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Two common evidence-based techniques used in her practice include cognitive-behavioral approaches and trauma-focused methods. Cognitive-behavioral work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments, which helps reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Trauma-focused methods help people process upsetting memories in small, controlled steps and build safety and coping skills afterward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach matches progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, small-step check-ins between meetings. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
