About Trista
Trista Lalli, LPC, uses a client-centered approach to help people find practical ways forward. She focuses on clear steps parents and individuals can use to reduce stress, manage anxiety and depression, and improve relationships. Trista writes plans with clients and builds on everyday strengths to make change manageable.
With 12 years of experience in Pennsylvania, she has worked across different settings and with a broad range of concerns. She helps people develop routines, manage schedules, and build skills to cope with life changes.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and low self-esteem in addition to parenting-related challenges. Trista blends methods rather than using just one technique. Her style centers the person first, then adds tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness when helpful.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect a collaborative process where the therapist asks about what’s already working, then suggests manageable changes.
Trista aims to tailor conversations and plans so they fit each person’s daily life and values. She describes herself as nonreligious and open minded, and she keeps a nonjudgmental stance in sessions. Trista encourages people to use their own strengths as the starting point for making changes.
If someone is ready to begin, she supports that first step and helps plan the next ones.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Trista often uses client-centered work, which focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them and shapes sessions around those priorities. It works well when someone wants to talk through challenges and set their own pace.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking, and for building practical coping skills that people can try between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are added when helpful to improve attention to the present moment and reduce stress through simple exercises.
Finding the right mix is a shared project. The therapist will review goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to pick strategies that fit daily routines and real-life limits.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in and require less bandwidth. Chat and text work well for brief reflections, ongoing prompts, or when someone needs a shorter way to stay connected between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives.
