About Kristin
Kristin DePolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures like anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and family and parenting concerns. Kristin also supports people managing trauma, ADHD, anger, and related mood or personality challenges.
She uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions focus on identifying what feels most urgent and breaking that into small, doable steps. Kristin draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide how she talks and plans work together.
Her background includes work across ages and settings, including clients facing severe mental health diagnoses and physical disabilities. That experience shapes a direct style that emphasizes real-life coping skills, communication strategies, and problem-solving for day-to-day demands.
In sessions she helps people name patterns that get in the way, test different ways of responding, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She also supports parents who are juggling care responsibilities and conflict within families, focusing on practical changes rather than theory.
Kristin asks straightforward questions and sets clear goals with each person. Treatment often mixes short skills practice with discussion about how changes fit into work, school, or family life. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn what matters most to them.
How Kristin uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and committing to actions that match your values. It can help when anxiety or low mood make it hard to move toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and everyday behaviors, then tests small experiments to shift those patterns and reduce anxiety or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She treats this as a collaborative decision and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, shifts, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they need them, and makes it simpler to follow up between sessions when needed.
