About Scott
Scott Clary is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or angry. He works directly with concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, ADHD, grief, and anger. His aim is to offer steady, practical support so people can take clearer steps forward.
He creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and improving everyday choices.
Background and approach
Conversations are simple and grounded so clients can use what they learn right away. Scott draws on several well-known approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based methods. He also uses client-centered and motivational strategies to help people find motivation and keep small gains going.
These methods are chosen to match each person’s goals and situation. Over his career he has helped people with addiction and substance concerns, caregiver stress, mood challenges, and trauma reactions. He pays special attention to issues like impulsivity, communication problems, guilt, and isolation.
The work is practical - reducing symptoms, managing triggers, and improving daily functioning. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill practice, values exploration, and short homework tasks to reinforce change. Scott helps people track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
His focus is on usable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants more meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions and is helpful for panic, mood issues, and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the person’s pace and priorities. That approach supports self-exploration and building confidence.Deciding which approach to use is usually collaborative. Scott will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The process is a partnership and the choice of tools can change as progress is made.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to share quick thoughts, do brief coaching, or keep momentum between sessions. These options aim to make scheduling easier and therapy more accessible for busy lives.
