About Kaitlin

Kaitlin Reichart is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with parents and caregivers looking for clearer ways to handle family stress and parenting challenges. She presents herself in a warm, conversational manner and focuses on practical steps parents can try between sessions. Kaitlin aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She draws on five years of licensed practice in Pennsylvania and earlier roles in schools, crisis intervention, and partial hospitalization programs.

Background and approach

That background means she has experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, and parenting struggles. She also has training in play-based and sand tray methods used when working with children. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative and solution-focused approaches.

She adapts techniques to each person rather than following one fixed plan. Conversations are practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on skill building and clearer communication. Kaitlin often helps parents manage stress, set boundaries, and address communication problems within the family.

She also supports people working through life changes, self-esteem issues, and co-occurring challenges. Her style is direct but compassionate, aiming to help people notice small changes that add up. People who choose to work with Kaitlin can expect a focus on goals they name and tools that fit their daily life.

She practices as an LPC in Pennsylvania and offers online formats that suit busy family schedules.

Approach and online options that fit family life

Client-centered work focuses on the person and their goals. It means sessions follow what matters most to the client and use empathic listening to understand each situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, anxiety, and communication problems.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps make sure tools feel useful and realistic for busy parents or caregivers.

Online therapy offers flexibility for families with tight schedules. Video calls let the therapist see family interactions when useful, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and follow-ups. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and childcare, and support steady progress through practical coaching and skill practice between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
