About Trista

Trista Lalli is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who works from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-informed methods to help people identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

With 12 years of professional experience, she supports clients in developing practical skills like scheduling, coping strategies, and mindset shifts to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Her work often addresses parenting challenges, grief, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and transitions that accompany life changes.

Trista adapts her approach to each person, blending client-centered care with structured techniques so goals are clear and progress is measurable. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients recognize and use their own strengths while creating tailored plans for change.

Trista aims to meet people where they are by maintaining an open-minded, nonjudgmental stance. She frames therapy as a partnership and encourages clients to take an active role in shaping sessions and goals.

Those seeking practical tools for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, or managing stress may find her approach particularly useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trista blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered techniques in ways that adapt well to online formats. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can be delivered through exercises, homework, and guided skill practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a collaborative relationship, creating space for clients to lead discussions about their priorities and strengths.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. She works with each person to clarify goals, explore which methods feel most helpful, and adjust strategies as progress unfolds so the work aligns with the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations within Pennsylvania. These options support ongoing skill practice between sessions and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum even when in-person meetings are not possible.
