About Russell
Russell Pippin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three decades of clinical experience. He has worked in independent practice, county behavioral health, and as a clinical supervisor for school-based mental health programs. Russell brings a steady, faith-informed perspective to therapy and aims to help people strengthen their sense of self and cope with life transitions.
He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. He also helps with depression, grief, workplace difficulties, and relationship and family concerns. Russell names post-traumatic stress and panic as areas he regularly addresses, along with issues around control and forgiveness.
In sessions he uses practical, person-focused methods. His work draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and approaches for trauma processing. He seeks to create an authentic, compassionate environment where goals are clear and achievable.
Russell’s training and background include a master’s degree in counseling with an emphasis on marriage, family, and child counseling. He has spent many years supervising other clinicians and working inside community mental health systems. That experience shapes a pragmatic, goal-oriented therapy style.
People choosing him can expect straightforward conversation, tools they can use between sessions, and encouragement to build self-love and resilience. Those interested in starting are invited to use the site process to match and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
