Kristina Stainbrook, LPC

Kristina Stainbrook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 9 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, those coping with addictions, and families working through conflict, while also addressing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence as clients navigate life changes.

Her approach honors the idea that each person is the expert of their own story, and she looks for strengths clients already possess to help them face challenges. Kristina brings a compassionate, collaborative stance that emphasizes understanding and growth, helping clients explore issues such as codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, she offers steady support throughout the change process. Her practice blends evidence-informed methods with a client-centered perspective to help individuals build practical coping skills and clearer direction, with an aim toward improved confidence, healthier relationships, and greater well-being.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Therapy

Kristina Stainbrook integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, respect, and collaboration, allowing clients to explore their values, self-worth, and life purpose while strengthening self-love and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and developing practical strategies to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address addictive behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kristina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining client-centered support with action-oriented CBT tools when appropriate to help clients gain insight and build coping skills.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from many locations. These formats support ongoing work on communication, relationships, coping with life changes, and recovery in ways that can adapt to individual schedules and preferences.
