About Claire
Claire Keithly is a licensed professional counselor with over 26 years of experience in Pennsylvania. She works primarily with people in mid-life who are facing big changes. Her practice focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, and grief.
Claire uses straightforward, respectful care and treats each person with sensitivity and compassion. She favors clear, goal-oriented work that helps people manage problems day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one of the main tools she uses to help change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. In sessions Claire listens first, then helps clients make small, doable steps toward their goals. She encourages realistic plans and skills people can use between meetings.
The tone is supportive and direct rather than overly clinical. Her practice offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are organized through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Parents reading this will find straightforward language and an emphasis on practical strategies. Claire believes taking the first step takes courage and she aims to support and empower clients as they work toward a more satisfying life. She focuses on clear guidance, steady encouragement, and helping people build useful habits.
Practical approaches for online therapy and mid-life change
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. It focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is often used for stress, mood disorders, and problems that respond to concrete skill building.In online sessions Claire works collaboratively to find the right approach. She listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques that fit their daily life. Deciding what works is a process they make together, adjusting strategies as needed.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Video lets the therapist and client see each other for more interactive work, while phone, chat, and text provide flexible ways to check in and practice skills between longer sessions.
Overall, the online format aims to give practical, accessible help so people can try techniques at home and bring real problems to sessions for focused work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
