Claire Keithly, LPC

Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and major life changes. Claire is approachable and direct, and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

Her work often centers on midlife transitions and coping with losses or shifts in routine. She helps people who struggle with addictions, relationship strain, grief, career shifts, and depression. Claire listens for practical patterns that keep problems going and helps clients try new ways of responding.

Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In sessions she helps people test unhelpful thoughts and build small, doable habits that reduce distress. She keeps interventions straightforward so clients can practice them between sessions.

Sessions are offered through video calls, which Claire prefers because they allow clearer conversation and better use of therapeutic tools. She also offers phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options to fit different needs. All sessions are conducted in English.

Her approach is respectful and compassionate without being vague. She helps people set realistic goals and break change into small steps. Claire works with each person’s schedule and pace so progress is steady and practical.

How Claire Uses CBT Online to Support Change

Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions keep problems stuck and to practice new responses that reduce distress. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, and addictive patterns because it focuses on clear steps and exercises that people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs and goals. She checks in about what is working and adjusts plans so tools fit the client’s life and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow real-time conversation and use of worksheets or guided exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, while chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
