About Whitney
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience, Whitney Thomas focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Whitney describes her approach as person-centered, which means she starts by listening to each person's experience. She aims to understand what matters to the individual before suggesting ways to cope or change. Practical CBT tools are added when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way of daily life.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Science from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master of Science in Community Mental Health Counseling completed in 2014. She earned her professional license as an LPC in 2017 and has worked in psychiatric rehabilitation settings earlier in her career. That work shaped her focus on helping people pursue mental wellness goals.
Whitney has experience working with people in individual and group settings across different clinical environments. She keeps up with yearly continuing education and uses trauma-informed practices learned in training. Those elements inform how she plans sessions and adjusts methods to what a person needs.

How her methods are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience first. In practice this means sessions start with the therapist asking about what matters most and reflecting that back so the person feels understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces simple exercises and tools to try between sessions; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and let people avoid travel time, which can help maintain consistency with appointments.
