Kathleen Shapiro , LPC

Kathleen Shapiro holds a Master’s Degree in Professional Clinical Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a state license to provide mental health counseling, practicing in Pennsylvania. With 12 years of experience, she has supported people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, life transitions, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, and bipolar disorder. She brings a person-first, trauma-informed perspective to her work and maintains an acute sensitivity to multicultural and cross-cultural influences that affect healing and resilience.

Her approach is collaborative and engaging - she blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Kathleen emphasizes teamwork in setting goals, working at a pace that feels manageable while building practical skills that promote self-discovery and healthier coping. She aims to help clients identify realistic objectives and develop strategies that fit everyday life.

Outside of her clinical work, Kathleen enjoys spending time outdoors, taking walks on trails and in parks, and she is working toward getting back into jogging. She also plays softball on weekends and advocates for self-care and balanced living as part of overall wellbeing. Kathleen supports and empowers individuals who choose counseling with warmth, respect, and clear, goal-oriented guidance.
