Scott Clary, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Scott

Scott Clary is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and ADHD. He works with clients who are trying to make sense of grief, anger, career shifts, and other life changes. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical next steps a person can actually use.

Scott brings 24 years of experience as an LPC, licensed in Pennsylvania (PA LPC PC012010). He aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgmental so difficult feelings can be named and explored.

Background and approach

He uses questions, reflective listening, and concrete exercises to help people see patterns and try different responses. Scott uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and avoidant patterns. He also draws on Client-Centered care and mindfulness practices to build awareness and emotional regulation.

Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels uncertain or when habits are getting in the way. Sessions may focus on improving communication, managing impulsivity, addressing substance use, or coping with isolation and compassion fatigue. Scott emphasizes small, achievable steps that fit into a person’s daily life rather than vague goals.

He supports people working through guilt, shame, and trauma-related reactions with steady, practical guidance. Scott offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs. He practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.

Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online approaches that focus on action and awareness

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction when life feels uncertain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and managing impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience; the therapist offers listening and reflection so a person can better understand themselves and decide next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help figure out which tools fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He often combines techniques to match what’s most useful in the moment and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and shorter check-ins when needed. For many people, remote sessions reduce travel time and let them practice new skills in their everyday settings while staying connected with a licensed professional.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
