About Kristin

Kristin DePolo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, family difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of professional experience working with children, teens, families, and adults and adapts her work to meet each client's specific situation. Kristin emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to individual needs.

Her approach draws from a range of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered listening, and skills-based practices from dialectical behavior therapy. Kristin has supported clients facing severe mental health diagnoses, physical disabilities, and substance use and addiction concerns, and she integrates those experiences into practical, goal-oriented sessions.

She encourages people to take the first brave step toward a more fulfilling life and aims to provide steady, nonjudgmental support throughout that process.

Online approaches and how they can help

Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this practical approach is often applied to problems like anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility so people can move toward meaningful life goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Finding the most helpful approach is part of the collaborative process. Kristin works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment aligns with evolving goals and real-life challenges.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult. Licensed professionals guide the work while clients and therapist shape a practical plan together.
