About Claire

Claire Keithly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on people in midlife who are coping with big changes. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship strain.

Claire tends to work with adults navigating practical life shifts. She helps people manage grief, career changes, postpartum mood concerns, and the particular stresses that come with blended family issues. She also has experience with substance use and domestic violence matters.

In sessions Claire uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors. Sessions move at a practical pace and often include concrete steps to try between meetings.

Her practice uses video sessions rather than messaging. That format is used because she finds it more effective for the work she does. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

People who contact Claire can expect a direct, respectful approach focused on problem-solving and coping. She works with concerns such as family of origin issues, codependency, and midlife crisis alongside more common mood and anxiety conditions. Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and immigration-related stress, which informs how she handles complex life transitions.

CBT and practical online sessions

Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is direct and task-focused and often suits anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions.

She favors video work for the kinds of issues she treats because it allows for clearer communication and real-time interaction. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods and exercises fit their goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography notes video sessions rather than messaging. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins between work or family obligations. They also let a person use different therapeutic tools during a regular day, such as practicing breathing or behavioral experiments in real time.
