About

Christine Piddington is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA LCSW 69521) with 11 years of professional experience offering therapeutic support.

Her expertise in grief and loss is rooted in a background as a hospice social worker, which shaped a deep understanding of the complex emotions and practical challenges that follow profound loss.

For the past 7.5 years she has provided care exclusively through remote sessions, supporting clients across California. She helps people address a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression.

Christine also brings a strong commitment to client advocacy from two years of service in the Peace Corps in Belize, where she advocated for people with HIV/AIDS, and from broader work supporting underprivileged communities. Her experience extends to workplace disability leave matters and obtaining Emotional Support Animals (ESA) for housing, as well as practice in prison and hospital settings.

She approaches therapy believing each person is the expert of their own story and has strengths to draw on. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can be difficult, and she aims to provide steady support during that process. While she is currently based in Alaska and pursuing licensure there, she maintains an active California license and remains committed to helping clients on their healing journeys.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.

A key benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy expands access while preserving the same core therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
