More about Keith

Hello. My name is Keith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in the state of Pennsylvania. My counseling career began in 1998. I have been an addiction counselor in both private and hospital practices. Since 2011, I have been in a general private practice.
My theoretical background is based in cognitive-behavioral therapy, with a heavier slant toward the cognitive end. I personally believe that every client already has the capability to heal him- or herself; he or she may just need some guidance and/or reassurance. I focus much of my therapy on 3 main tenets: 1) Identify and change belief systems and thinking that interfere with the client's goal, 2) Identify ways for clients to self nurture and self soothe, 3) Identify where clients have the power/control to make the changes necessary for their goals.
I am comfortable working with a wide variety of client concerns; however, I most enjoy working with clients regarding substance abuse and other addictive behaviors (gambling, sex, shopping, etc.), depression, anxiety, stress, grief, anger, non-medicinal pain management, etc.

About online counseling

- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
