Kristin DePolo, LPC

Kristin DePolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, family issues, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.

Kristin uses clear, practical conversation to help people untangle what’s making daily life harder. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice and accept difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to them.

Her background includes work with people facing serious mental health diagnoses, physical disabilities, and substance use concerns. That experience informs how she plans realistic goals and pacing for each person. Kristin aims to keep sessions focused and direct so people can apply what they practice between meetings.

Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and checking how strategies fit into real life. When needed, she will use Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy approaches to keep the conversation grounded in the person’s priorities. Kristin pays attention to family dynamics when those affect how someone manages anger or stress.

She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session. That helps shape an initial plan and makes early appointments more focused. People who are looking to manage temper, reduce work or home conflict, or handle built-up resentment may find this straightforward style useful.
