About Claire
Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 26 years of clinical experience. She primarily works with people in mid-life who are facing difficult changes, and she helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, and mood disorders.
Claire focuses on clear, practical steps rather than long talk sessions without direction. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions are conducted by video instead of messaging, because she finds video a more effective way to work.
Her practice includes support for relationship strain, grief, career stress, and challenges such as postpartum depression, bipolar mood concerns, and seasonal affective patterns. She also has experience with aging and geriatric concerns, blended family issues, codependency, and substance-related problems.
In a typical meeting she helps clients break down problems into manageable parts. She works on skills for managing anxiety, reducing problematic behaviors, and improving everyday coping. The approach is hands-on and goal oriented, with regular checks on progress and adjustments as needed.
People choosing to work with her follow a simple start-up process through the service: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Because sessions are done by video, readers should confirm session options and logistics before booking.
How CBT and structured video sessions work online
Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation.She pairs CBT with practical problem solving. That means setting clear goals, practicing skills between visits, and checking progress regularly. This approach is useful when someone wants concrete tools to manage everyday problems and mood fluctuations.
Finding the right method is part of the process. Claire will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals, and she will adjust the plan if something isn’t working. The decision is collaborative and based on what the person finds helpful.
Her practice is conducted by video rather than messaging according to her biography. If you want other session formats, confirm available options before booking. Video sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow fuller face-to-face interaction, and support shorter check-ins when needed.
