About Kipp
Kipp Trembley uses a client-centered approach to help people face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life challenges. He encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps people can try between sessions. Kipp brings 19 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington.
He starts by meeting people where they are and shaping sessions around each person's present needs. Sessions often include listening, gentle questions, and occasional suggestions or interpretations when helpful.
Background and approach
Kipp also offers mindfulness and meditation training, journaling prompts, and creative expression tools to deepen insight and build skills. When trauma, addiction, or intense emotions show up, he pairs client-centered work with approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and emotionally-focused methods. He may introduce short exercises or homework to practice new responses outside of sessions.
Hypnosis and dream exploration are offered sometimes as optional tools when the person is open to them. Kipp pays attention to practical needs as well as emotional ones, and can point people toward community resources when appropriate. He keeps regular office hours and responds to messages during those times according to his practice policies.
People who contact him can expect direct, down-to-earth conversation and a focus on small, manageable steps. The aim is to build coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and support clearer choices about relationships, work, and life purpose.
Using evidence-informed approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and homework to change behavior and mood. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and working with strong emotions to improve emotional understanding and connection in relationships and personal distress.Kipp approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. He listens to the client's goals and preferences, explains options, and tries techniques together to see what fits. Over a few sessions he and the client adjust the plan so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy with Kipp can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat or messaging suits shorter updates, journaling-style reflections, or when someone prefers written interaction. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
