Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kristin DePolo

Kristin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for people managing anxiety, stress, or life transitions who want to build a richer, values-driven life.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and improving coping strategies.

In addition, Kristin employs Client-Centered Therapy principles, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected while exploring goals and challenges. She tailors these approaches to each person, working together with clients to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Kristin offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from different locations within Pennsylvania, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing work with a licensed professional.
