About Whitney
Whitney Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She practices in a straightforward, person-centered way. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Whitney listens to what matters most to the client and helps set small, doable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when it fits the concern.
Whitney trained in community mental health counseling after getting a bachelor’s degree in social science from the University of Pittsburgh. Early work in a psychiatric rehabilitation program shaped her focus on problem solving and daily skills. She completed a master’s degree in community mental health counseling and later obtained her LPC in Pennsylvania.
Her background includes individual and group work across clinical settings. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma and attends yearly continuing education to refresh practical skills. Sessions typically combine listening, skill practice, and planning small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.
People can expect a calm, direct approach that emphasizes clear steps. Whitney aims to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, change small habits, and build routines that reduce stress and improve functioning.
How her approaches translate to online work

CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, trying simple experiments between meetings, and reviewing what worked. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working plan together, which can help with motivation and sorting priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Whitney will work with the client to choose which methods to use based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session structure and the homework or practice tasks that follow.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in their regular routine and bring real scenarios into conversation, which supports concrete problem solving and behavior change.
