Kristie Scheib, LPC — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Kristie!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and phobias. I use evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients stop letting fear dictate their lives.

My focus

I primarily work with adults experiencing OCD, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, phobias, and other anxiety-related concerns. Many of my clients feel trapped in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or panic, and are ready for an active, evidence-based approach to treatment.

My approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, evidence-based, and results-focused. I believe that lasting change comes from understanding how anxiety and OCD operate rather than simply learning ways to temporarily manage symptoms. I use ERP & ACT In my approach with clients.

My communication style

Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and easy to talk to, while also being direct and goal-oriented. I create a supportive environment where you can be honest about what you're experiencing, but I also believe therapy should be active and purposeful. Rather than simply listening, I'll help you understand what's keeping you stuck.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've seen firsthand how overwhelming anxiety can be and I know that with the right treatment, people can truly get their lives back. I'm passionate about helping clients move beyond simply managing symptoms and instead experience lasting freedom from the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative process that focuses on what matters most to each client. Together, we identify how anxiety, OCD, or avoidance is impacting your life and create meaningful goals that move you toward the life you want, not just toward symptom reduction.

Our first session

During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive conversation where we begin getting to know you, your goals, and what brought you to therapy. We will explore how anxiety, OCD, or other challenges are impacting your daily life, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and begin creating a plan for treatment.
