We believe children do not need to “talk nicely” about emotions, but rather learn how to live with them better
Gentle, practical CBT adapted to the child's world LICBT is low-intensity cognitive-behavioral therapy, specially adapted for children and families, focusing on simple, clear, and practical tools for everyday life. At TipTipul, LICBT is delivered with a sensitive and welcoming approach that respects the child's pace and involves parents as a natural part of the process.
LICBT (Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is an adapted, brief, and focused CBT treatment that works on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. The goal is not to “analyze” the child, but to provide tools to help them understand themselves and learn how to cope better with situations that overwhelm or challenge them.
The therapy focuses on identifying automatic thoughts such as “I can’t do it” or “They will laugh at me.” Developing alternative calming thoughts grounded in reality. Learning emotional regulation – calming, breathing, and focusing. Practicing gradual coping with difficult situations. Building a sense of competence and self-confidence. The therapist uses various types of tools: behavioral, cognitive, and experiential.
LICBT is suitable for children from school age through adolescence, and is appropriate for situations such as:
And also for children who: “know how to explain what bothers them – but do not know how to cope with it”
The therapy takes place in structured and clear sessions, in language the child understands and in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. The child learns:
Parents are involved in the process and receive guidance and tools to continue at home.

Behavior Analyst (ABA) | Adapted Education Teacher | Parent Coach. She is a certified behavior analyst (ABA), adapted education teacher, and parent coach, with approximately ten years of experience supporting children and families facing behavioral challenges, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and needs on the autism spectrum.
Lee’s work focuses on a deep understanding of the child’s social and emotional world – social situations, social norms, theory of mind, and developing interpersonal skills that enable children to create meaningful connections and strengthen their sense of competence and self-confidence.
Treatment takes place in individual, paired, or group sessions, according to the child’s unique needs and developmental stage, and is based on building a personal connection, in-depth observation, and gradual work that leads to meaningful and stable change over time.
Lee believes that quality behavioral therapy is not only about the behavior itself, but about understanding the child within their environment – the family, the educational setting, and social relationships. Working with parents and the teams surrounding the child is an integral part of the therapeutic process, and enables genuine integration of change into daily life.
Yaniv is a Chinese medicine and hydrotherapy practitioner with over 20 years of experience, and the founder and owner of TipTipul—a clinic born from a personal dream that developed over years of thinking, doing, learning, and developing. Working with children, infants, and parents is at the heart of Yaniv’s practice.
He wakes up every morning with a sense of mission and excitement, knowing that a day awaits him filled with encounters with families facing complex challenges—sometimes frustrating and sometimes unclear—and seeking a deep, calm, and containing response. Even after many years in the profession, curiosity continues to drive him.
Yaniv seeks to understand the root of the problem, learns every day from the children and parents, and believes that good treatment begins with listening, observation, and the ability to ask questions—not just providing quick solutions. Chinese medicine treatment is carried out with patience and containment of the entire family and the child in particular. The goal is to connect with the child’s world, at a pace that suits them, and create a safe space that enables trust and cooperation.
Sometimes this means arriving for a session, but no actual treatment takes place.
For Yaniv, this is a natural and proper part of the process—a stage in which the child learns to trust and develops the ability to meet therapeutic figures outside the immediate family circle.
Yaniv’s perspective is broad and deep, addressing the small details that tell a big story:
body odor, skin color, muscle tone, sleep patterns, movement, and emotional response—always in the context of the child’s and parents’ needs. In hydrotherapy, which is his “second hat,” Yaniv creates a positive, playful, and safe environment,
even for children who cannot swim or experience insecurity in water.
Through building a personalized goal bank, a gradual process begins of developing independence and confidence in water—and from this, also strengthening the sense of security in daily life, social relationships, and family circles.
