About Scott
Scott Clary is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, addiction, low self-esteem, or the challenges of ADHD. Scott aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn right away.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful feelings like guilt, shame, grief, or anger.
How Scott works
Conversations often target patterns that get in the way of everyday life, such as impulsivity, isolation, or trouble communicating. Scott helps people find clearer goals and steps to reach them. Scott uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational interviewing supports people working through addiction or ambivalence about change.
He also works with concerns around caregiver stress, attachment, money and career issues, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions focus on practical skills, coping strategies, and building resilience for daily life. Scott supports people as they move through transitions, whether that's a career shift, loss, or a period of big change.
People meet with him by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Scott speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC. He encourages a collaborative process so people can find the pace and tools that work for them.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy for real life challenges
Scott commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning feel unclear.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and shift patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often applied for panic attacks, mood disorders, and everyday stress by teaching practical skills for managing thoughts and behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Scott will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. He treats the first sessions as a chance to figure out what helps and to adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, managing caregiving or work demands, and matching the way someone prefers to communicate.
