About Kristin

Kristin White is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the aftereffects of trauma.

Background and approach

She focuses on trauma recovery, depression, bipolar disorder, and self-harm, and works with a broad range of life challenges including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting questions, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice blends evidence-informed techniques to support emotional regulation, improve coping skills, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Kristin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused methods to tailor interventions to each person's needs, and she also uses EMDR for clients who have experienced significant traumatic distress. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, attending to cultural sensitivity and personal values while promoting practical strategies for change.

Clients can expect a respectful, steady presence that emphasizes safety, skill-building, and gradual progress. Kristin aims to help people build resilience and identify concrete steps toward more fulfilling relationships and greater emotional well-being.

Approaches for Trauma and Stress in Online Care

Kristin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processing to help people reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin works with clients to understand their history, goals, and preferences, and she tailors treatment recommendations so the method fits the individual rather than imposing a single path. This shared decision-making helps clients feel involved and clear about the plan for their care.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy lives and access support from home. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and convenient communication while working toward recovery and better coping skills with a licensed professional.
