About Whitney
Whitney Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. She sees adults for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Mindfulness practices are included to help with stress, impulse control, and grounding during intense feelings. Sessions tend to be straightforward and action-oriented, with time spent talking through problems, trying simple skills, and reviewing what did or didn’t help between meetings.
Her background includes work in 12-step programs, medication-assisted treatment facilities, and group settings. She identifies as a parent and notes experience supporting people around parent-child and co-parenting difficulties. People are encouraged to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Whitney commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on what the client wants to change and what matters most to them. CBT involves identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and trying concrete alternatives. Mindfulness practices teach attention and grounding skills to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity in the moment.Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. Many people find skills practice, thought records, and emotion-focused conversations translate well to a virtual meeting, while mindfulness exercises can be done during or between sessions to support real-life moments.
