Hey There, I’m Chris Prebble, LPC

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Ethical Badass™ consultant with over 21 years of experience in mental health care.

I work with people who’ve done plenty of thinking, plenty of talking, and are ready for something to actually change.

I don’t do therapy theater.

I don’t hand out scripts.

And I’m not interested in watching you pretend you’re fine.

No clinical distance. No careful neutrality. Just honest work with someone who’s actually in your corner.

Licensed in Pennsylvania

Registered for Telehealth in Florida & South Carolina

Outside the Therapy Room

When I’m not working, I’m probably reading, watching football or baseball (depending on the season), fishing, or riding with Dan.

I’ve learned to be comfortable not fitting in — including proudly wearing Michigan Wolverines gear in Happy Valley.

I grew up with seven brothers, which taught me early what it’s like to live inside traditional masculine expectations — “suck it up”, “stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about”, “don’t be a sissy”.

That messaging leaves a mark.

A lot of my clients know it well. Therapy with me isn’t about proving toughness or pretending you don’t feel. It’s about putting that weight down and figuring out what actually works for your life now.

Who I Work With

I work with adults navigating:

• Burnout, people-pleasing, and chronic overwhelm

• Perfectionism and emotional exhaustion

• Relationships where you’ve lost track of where they end and you begin

• Doing everything right and feeling nothing

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, deeply self-aware — and still miserable.

That’s not a failure. It’s a sign that insight alone isn’t enough.

How I Work

I don’t sugarcoat — and I don’t waste your time.

My work is grounded, flexible, and responsive to real life.

We slow things down enough to see what’s actually driving your reactions, then deal with it directly.

I draw from EMDR, Brainspotting, Parts Work, and a few others — depending on what the person in front of me actually needs. Not because I have a favorite. Because one size fits nobody.

I remain steady when things get uncomfortable.

What's Coming

Kettle Creek located in Potter County, PA

Beginning late summer 2026, I plan to offer Therapeutic Fly-Fishing EMDR (TF-EMDR) Retreats in North Central, Pennsylvania — blending nature, movement, and trauma-focused therapy for people who do their best thinking outside four walls.

Ethical Badass™

I created the Ethical Badass™ brand for therapists and other professionals who don’t fit the traditional counselor mold — the ones who aren’t afraid to swear, name hard things, or get real when clients need it most.

It’s not about shock value. It’s about clarity, integrity, and showing up honestly in work that carries real weight.

Ways to Work With Me

3-Hour Therapy Intensives

Focused, immersive sessions for when weekly therapy isn’t enough and you’re ready to deal with what’s actually underneath.

Individual Therapy

Weekly or biweekly online therapy for adults who are tired of pretending they’re fine and ready for meaningful change.

Professional Consultation

Through the Ethical Badass™ Workshop & Practice Lab — for therapists and professionals who want to practice with honesty, edge, and integrity.

LPC Supervision (PA)

Burnout-aware supervision for pre-licensed therapists who want clarity, confidence, and ethical grounding without shrinking themselves.

I don’t do this alone. Here’s who else is in your corner...
