About Claire
Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 26 years of experience. She works primarily with adults in mid-life facing hard changes. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship strain.
Claire focuses on practical problem-solving in sessions. She commonly addresses coping with life transitions, career concerns, grief, and challenges tied to family dynamics. Her background includes work with people facing postpartum mood issues, seasonal affective disorder, and aging or geriatric concerns.
Her approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she and the client look at how thoughts and behaviors interact and test new ways of responding. Sessions aim to be direct and focused on skills clients can try between meetings. Claire prefers video sessions because she finds them a more effective way to work than messaging.
People who contact her can expect clear conversation about goals and next steps. She also brings experience with blended family issues, codependency, domestic violence aftermath, and substance use concerns. Immigration-related stress and end-of-life or hospice counseling are additional areas she has handled.
Claire conducts sessions in English and practices within Pennsylvania. She does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Claire uses CBT online
Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often include simple exercises to test beliefs and step-by-step plans for coping with anxiety, depression, or stress. This approach can be helpful for addictions, mood challenges, and problems with mid-life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process is meant to match strategies to each person's situation and preferences rather than assuming one method fits all.
The biography states she prefers video sessions over messaging, so confirm the specific session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and let people join from a quieter location without travel time. Licensed professionals can use video to demonstrate skills, review worksheets together, and keep momentum between sessions.
