Whitney Thompson, LPC

Whitney Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and addiction. Whitney aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s most pressing in their lives.

She offers practical support for parenting challenges and family tensions, drawing on her own experience as a parent. Sessions also address depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. Whitney lists thoughts and everyday habits among the focus areas she uses to help clients notice patterns and make small changes.

Her background includes work with 12-step programs, medication-assisted treatment facilities, and therapeutic groups. That variety informs how she adapts sessions to different needs and recovery stages. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, obsessive behaviors, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise concerns.

Whitney uses several practical approaches during sessions. She leans on client-centered methods to hear each person’s perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and habits, emotionally-focused work for relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to build daily coping skills.

People who come to Whitney can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation and tools they can try between visits. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Whitney’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to make people feel heard. In practice this means sessions focus on the client’s story and goals, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to identify helpful next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. CBT sessions break big problems into small steps and give concrete tools to test different ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Whitney collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean mixing client-centered conversation with CBT exercises or adding mindfulness practices when useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirmed formats will determine things like whether sessions can fit into a short break, whether video or audio is used, or whether work between sessions will be shared electronically. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to bring therapy into daily routines, but confirm the exact options available when you start.
