About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Occhipinti is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and challenges with self esteem. She works with clients dealing with addictions, depression, anger, sleep problems, and the ripple effects of trauma and loss. Her approach is respectful and compassionate and focused on the person in front of her.
With 22 years of professional experience, Dr. Occhipinti adapts conversations and strategies to each person's needs. She listens first, then helps set realistic goals and steps people can try between sessions. Often this means learning new skills to manage emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing clearer communication.
Her methods draw on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These tools are used to help people cope with life changes, work through family-of-origin issues, and face challenges like chronic illness or caregiving strain.
Dr. Occhipinti emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving. She supports parents with parenting concerns and those navigating divorce, blended family issues, or career transitions. The aim is to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and increase everyday functioning.
People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward dialogue and tailored plans. She invites those ready to try something different to take the first step toward clearer thinking and steadier coping.
