About Claire
Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with over 26 years of experience. She focuses on people in midlife who are facing big transitions and hard choices. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship strain.
Claire prefers to meet by video because she finds live conversation more effective than messaging. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping people sort priorities and try small changes that can make daily life easier. She aims to listen with respect and sensitivity while helping clients feel more able to take next steps.
In sessions she commonly addresses grief, career shifts, family and origin issues, and codependency concerns. She also supports people coping with postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges linked to aging. Her approach prioritizes clear goals and skills that can be used between appointments.
Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts and actions interact. She helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going and practices new ways of responding. Many people find this hands-on style useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.
Her work often involves practical problem solving for day-to-day stress and building tools for managing mood and cravings. Claire encourages collaborative planning so each person leaves with concrete steps to try before the next meeting. This makes progress feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
How CBT and live video sessions fit into online care
Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and urges linked to addiction.She favors live video sessions because real-time conversation lets her notice tone, breathing, and reactions that inform practical feedback. Video sessions also make it easier to role-play, teach coping skills, and review homework together during the appointment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire collaborates with each person to shape goals and choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. She will adjust pacing and exercises based on what is useful and what a person feels ready to try.
Online therapy can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow consistent follow-up when routines shift. Since this therapist's biography notes video sessions rather than messaging, confirm the exact session options before booking so you can plan around your schedule and needs.
