Michelle Dippolito, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Michelle!

Talking to a stranger about heavy stuff can be difficult but I am here to provide a warm, safe, and (sometimes) funny place to land and work through life's issues.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma who need help navigating through negative thoughts and learning skills to manage symptoms.

My approach

My approach is always warm and welcoming. I utilize CBT, DBT, and person-centered skills to help you work through anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My communication style

I pride myself in being warm and welcoming and love to use humor to break the ice. I am here to walk alongside you when tough discussions may arise.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a kid, I have always been told I was a good listener and that was when I learned the power of listening and sitting with someone through tough times.

My goals for you

I believe that clients know themselves best. Goals are met when you are invested and motivated to reach them. Collaboration is key.

Our first session

Your first session will involve me exploring your reasonings for seeking therapy, what you hope to accomplish, any roadblocks you've encountered and develop a list of goals to work through. We got this!
