About Kristin
Kristin DePolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, family issues, and ADHD. Kristin sees teens and adults and has worked with people who have complex medical or mental health needs.
She uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than long lectures. Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to build skills for everyday life.
Her work includes supporting parents with the strain of raising children and helping individuals who are coping with past trauma or ongoing anxiety. She also has experience addressing issues connected to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics. Conversations often include behavioral strategies and problem-solving for specific family situations.
Kristin combines CBT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people clarify values and take manageable actions. She may also use elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills when they are useful.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions typically look at what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and what can be tried differently this week. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on clear steps - noticing a thought, trying a different response, and checking what changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy informs her way of listening and shaping sessions around the person’s priorities. These approaches combine to give both skill practice and values-driven goals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kristin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then collaborate on an approach to try. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed so practical tools fit day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving. They also support shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better matches a person’s routine.
