Kristin DePolo, LPC

Kristin DePolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, family concerns, and ADHD. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life.

Kristin draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape treatment. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills. Client-centered principles guide the relationship, with the therapist listening closely and adapting to each person’s needs.

In work with adolescents, adults, and caregivers, Kristin addresses family dynamics and parenting concerns alongside individual symptoms. She has experience supporting people who live with chronic health issues, intellectual or developmental differences, and the impact of substance use on daily life. That background informs tailored plans that consider both emotional and practical challenges.

Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and short-term strategies when that fits the client’s needs. Kristin collaborates with people to adjust pace and focus over time. She encourages small, manageable steps and tracks progress so therapy feels relevant and forward moving.

Kristin has about 12 years of professional experience in behavioral health settings across Pennsylvania. Her work blends practical tools with steady support to help people move toward more functional days and better relationships.

Approaches that guide online work

Kristin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often targets motivation, avoidance, and challenges like anxiety or traumatic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she uses to spot unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for mood and anxiety problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means tools can be mixed and adjusted over time to fit changing needs.

Please confirm current session options before booking as specific online formats are not listed here. Generally, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports consistent work on skills between sessions, and licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation and worksheets to practice new strategies in real life.
