Kristin DePolo, LPC

Kristin DePolo is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has 12 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Kristin aims to create a calm, respectful setting where people can talk through problems and find practical ways forward.

Her work often addresses trauma, attention differences such as ADHD, and complex mood or personality concerns. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving demands, and issues that arise with aging and geriatric concerns. Kristin adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Kristin draws from several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Client-Centered methods to keep the person’s experience central. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.

Sessions focus on clear goals, useful skills, and steady progress. Kristin describes herself as caring, supportive, and nonjudgmental, aiming to help people take the small steps that lead to bigger change.

If you want help managing daily stress, handling family and parenting challenges, or planning for later-life concerns, Kristin works with each person to develop a practical plan and next steps.

How Kristin's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practicing alternative behaviors that improve mood and function. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s perspective central, offering empathy and listening so goals emerge from the client’s own priorities.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. Over the first few meetings she refines the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins between obligations, and reduce scheduling barriers for caregivers or people managing health concerns. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter or simpler setup is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like ACT and CBT to work well in remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, homework, and steady progress.
