About Kristin
Kristin DePolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, family issues, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use day to day.
She uses several proven approaches to guide the work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. Kristin aims to help people identify what matters to them, build better coping strategies, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Her background includes long-term work with teens, adults, and people with complex mental health and physical health needs. That experience informs a direct, skills-based way of working. Kristin often brings structured tools when symptoms like anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem are getting in the way.
For people in stepfamily situations and blended households she addresses common concerns such as merging routines, loyalty conflicts, co-parenting challenges, and the stress of becoming a stepparent. She helps individuals sort priorities, set boundaries, and communicate more clearly with partners and ex-partners.
Kristin’s approach balances practical skill-building with space to reflect on values and relationships. She speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options and scheduling details when they reach out.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making decisions about relationships and parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing anger or low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will discuss goals and preferences and use that conversation to decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or client-centered conversations best fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
