About Claire

LPC in Pennsylvania with 26 years of clinical experience, Claire Keithly focuses on midlife concerns and major life transitions. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and grief. Claire’s practice emphasizes practical conversation and problem-solving to help clients regain steadiness during change.

Claire typically sees people who are navigating midlife changes or coping with ongoing mood and anxiety symptoms. She also addresses relationship strain, career disruptions, and challenges tied to aging or caregiving. Her work includes help for those facing substance use issues and end-of-life or hospice concerns.

Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she uses clear, focused talk to surface unhelpful patterns, then practices alternative ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions are oriented toward concrete skills people can use between meetings.

Claire conducts therapy primarily by video sessions rather than messaging. This format supports real-time conversation and direct interaction during skill practice. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

She brings steady experience across a range of life stressors, including postpartum mood changes, seasonal affective concerns, family of origin struggles, blended family issues, and codependency. She also has experience with immigration-related stress and isolation or loneliness.

To begin, people choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Claire uses CBT in online sessions

Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and short experiments to change thinking and actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT is the best fit and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. This is a joint process that may include tracking patterns, practicing skills, and reviewing progress together.

The therapist’s biography notes a preference for video sessions rather than messaging. Video allows real-time conversation and direct practice of skills during the appointment. If you need a different format, confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins from wherever you are able to connect.
