Kristina Shippey

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • San Luis Obispo, CA


As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

Joanne Nibbio

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • San Luis Obispo, CA


Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support can be an

important first step toward feeling better and creating meaningful change. I am a

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with several years of experience working with

children, adolescents, adults, and families.

My experience includes working with community programs, mental health services, and

private practice. I have worked with individuals and families experiencing trauma,

emotional and behavioral challenges, family conflict, and difficult circumstances

involving foster care. I have also worked with youth transitioning to adulthood and

individuals in the justice system. In addition, I have provided clinical supervision to

interns and delivered professional training within the field.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to make

change. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT,

Family Systems, and trauma-informed care. Together, we can identify patterns that may

be getting in the way, develop practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work

toward your set goals.
