Kathryn Defilippi(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Kathryn is a therapist who works with a wide range of clients, providing support to individuals between the ages of 8 and 65. They welcome children, adolescents, and adults who may be navigating challenges such as life transitions, emotional distress, relationship concerns, trauma, or patterns related to addiction. Their practice is grounded in creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences. Kathryn values meeting clients where they are and tailoring care to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.

Their therapeutic approach is integrative and flexible, drawing from humanistic, existential, and Gestalt traditions while incorporating evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This combination allows Kathryn to focus both on present-moment awareness and practical skill-building while also helping clients explore deeper questions about meaning, identity, and personal growth. They collaborate closely with clients to develop strategies that improve emotional regulation, strengthen self-understanding, and support lasting change.

Kathryn has experience working with trauma, family systems, couples, and addiction-related concerns. This background informs a holistic understanding of how individual experiences, relationships, and broader life contexts influence mental health. Kathryn aims to help clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others while developing resilience and coping skills that support long-term wellbeing. Their work is guided by empathy, curiosity, and a strong commitment to helping clients move toward more fulfilling and balanced lives.

Kathryn provides therapy through a fully remote telehealth practice based in Pennsylvania. Virtual sessions offer clients flexible and accessible care while maintaining the same level of confidentiality, professionalism, and therapeutic connection found in traditional in-person settings. Through telehealth, Kathryn is able to support clients across Pennsylvania from the comfort and privacy of their own environment.
