Claire Keithly , LPC

Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people in mid-life who are facing difficult transitions and life changes, offering steady guidance through periods of stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, and mood disorders. Claire approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to create a collaborative process that empowers clients to pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Her practice emphasizes live video sessions rather than messaging, reflecting her preference for real-time interaction as a more effective mode of therapy. Claire believes taking the first step toward change takes courage, and she positions herself as a supportive partner in that journey, helping clients build practical coping skills and clearer perspectives as they work toward their goals.

CBT-Informed Care and Convenient Online Access

Claire practices using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured approach that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts while building practical skills to manage emotions and behaviors. CBT is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and problems related to addiction or mood regulation, offering concrete tools for day-to-day coping.

Within that framework, Claire emphasizes cognitive techniques that challenge negative thinking patterns and behavioral strategies that encourage small, actionable changes. These complementary elements work together to reduce symptoms and support longer term patterns of change in mood and functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Claire works collaboratively with each client to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains useful and aligned with personal priorities.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent care without major disruptions to daily life. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit their routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide each step of the process.
