About Claire

Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people in mid-life who are facing difficult changes. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and pregnancy and childbirth related concerns. Claire aims to offer respectful, sensitive, and compassionate support as people take steps toward change.

Claire's practice emphasizes straightforward, practical conversations. She typically uses video sessions because she finds them more effective than messaging for therapy. Sessions are focused on what is happening now and on clear steps people can try between meetings. She encourages small, manageable goals to build momentum.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. That framework helps when managing anxiety, depression, or coping with life transitions. She also brings experience addressing addiction, grief, family problems, and postpartum depression.

Claire helps people work through relationship strain, career stress, and midlife questions. She offers support around aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, and codependency patterns. Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and work with immigration-related stresses.

People who prefer clear guidance and practical tools tend to find her style useful. She values empathy and respect in sessions and works alongside clients to set realistic targets. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Claire Uses CBT Online

Claire draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts and teaches tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

She pairs that approach with practical problem-solving for issues like addiction, grief, or coping with major life changes. Sessions focus on small experiments and skills to try between meetings so progress is clear and measurable.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in as the work progresses and adjusts strategies when something isn’t fitting.

The biography notes therapy is offered through video sessions rather than messaging, so confirm current session options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a focused face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. It also supports shorter check-ins when people need quick adjustments between longer sessions.
