Background and approach
Dr. Lipin has a background in clinical psychopharmacology, which gives him a clear view of how biology and medication can relate to mental health. He draws on that perspective when planning care, while keeping the work practical and centered on the person's goals.
He also brings experience with substance use and addiction concerns. Sessions are geared toward concrete steps a person can try between meetings. Typical work includes building coping skills for panic and anxiety, managing impulsivity, and addressing isolation or low mood.
For people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability, he focuses on ways to improve daily functioning and life purpose. He communicates plainly and helps set short-term goals alongside longer-term plans. Dr.
Lipin works by listening, offering strategies, and tracking progress together so people can see what changes help them most.
Using ACT and CBT in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce panic, low mood, and impulsive actions. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor sessions to those needs. They work with the client to try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Online formats offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and deeper exercises. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support between-session coaching, quick skill reminders, or ongoing contact without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using ACT and CBT techniques in practical ways.Questions people ask
