Tien Gerrodette

Tien Gerrodette is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anger, addiction, stress, and anxiety. He works in California and offers services in English. He emphasizes practical steps people can use right away and supports each person as they make changes at their own pace.

Tien sees people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. He uses straightforward conversations to break problems into clear pieces. That can make feelings easier to understand and actions easier to try.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help create new patterns. Sessions focus on skills that reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day coping. Tien tailors those skills to what fits a person’s routine and goals.

With 20 years of experience as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he brings steady clinical experience without judging where someone is starting from. He aims for realistic plans people can follow between sessions.

Tien also has experience addressing drug and alcohol addiction and trauma and abuse. He works with each person to set short-term goals and measure small wins along the way. The overall goal is clearer thinking, fewer crisis moments, and stronger control over difficult emotions.

How CBT and online work can help manage anger

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses to reduce intense emotional reactions and avoid impulsive actions.

Sessions that use CBT often include concrete exercises and short homework tasks. Those tasks teach coping skills for stress, anxiety, and cravings related to addiction, and help people break cycles that fuel anger or depressive moods.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which CBT techniques fit their goals and daily life. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can reduce commute time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm available formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping consistent progress while balancing work and family rhythms.
