Kaitlin Reichart

Kaitlin Reichart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, and women's issues. Her style aims to feel conversational and approachable rather than formal.

Kaitlin brings five years of LPC experience and a broader decade of work in mental health settings. Her background includes crisis intervention, school-based outpatient counseling, partial hospitalization, and work in a residential treatment facility. She has also supported therapeutic classrooms and worked directly with people managing both mental health and substance concerns.

In sessions she commonly uses client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She adapts methods to each person instead of applying one set plan to everyone. Sessions are meant to feel like real conversations where the client’s needs guide the work.

Kaitlin has experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, self-harm concerns, and co-occurring issues. She also has training in TARGET and holds a Play Therapy Certificate, and has used Sand Tray work with children. These tools inform how she tailors care, especially with young adults and adolescents when appropriate.

She frames change as a gradual process and focuses on building practical skills and hope. People who seek help are described as taking a brave first step, and Kaitlin aims to collaborate on realistic goals for feeling better over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It prioritizes the client's experience and aims to create a respectful, collaborative conversation that helps people clarify goals and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills and exercises that help manage anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It can be useful for managing strong emotions, self-harm urges, and chronic stress by teaching step-by-step coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration is ongoing and may change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and fitting shorter check-ins into a busy day.
