About Trista
Trista Lalli is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with adults to address relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Trista focuses on practical steps people can use day to day rather than long theory talks.
She uses a client-centered approach that builds from the person's strengths. That means she listens first and helps you name what matters most. Trista also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and she borrows tools from mindfulness and solution-focused work to support concrete change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Trista helps people create manageable routines, reduce reactive responses, and improve communication in stressful moments. She talks through ways to handle workplace frustration, simmering resentment, and moments when anger gets in the way of relationships.
Her background includes work across different care settings with adults and adolescents, giving a range of practical strategies she can draw on. She describes herself as nonreligious and nonjudgmental and centers the client's experience when planning steps forward.
Trista encourages small, achievable changes. She helps people develop skills like scheduling supports, adjusting thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood, and trying short experiments to see what works. The focus is on clear next steps rather than open-ended theorizing.
How her approaches translate to online work
Trista uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and building from a person's strengths. In sessions she helps people name goals and decide practical next steps they can try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed anger or stress. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the body and moment-to-moment reactions, which can help with managing sudden frustration and lowering reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Trista will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts tools over time based on what helps and what does not.
