Kelly Lambie
Welcome! My name is Kelly Lambie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I have a Master's degree from Walden University in Mental Health Counseling and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board for Certified Counselors. I am married and have one child. Currently, I work in a private practice setting with ages 14-85 and in a multitude of areas. Because of the wide age range, I have helped my clients through depression and anxiety, school and relationship struggles, and much more! It is rewarding to watch people meet their goals and find happiness from within. I have an eclectic approach to counseling with a combination of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I believe in creating a safe place to have conversations, and that anyone can benefit from counseling. I've worked in private practice as a mental health counselor since 2010. I often draw from my three years of experience as a behavioral counselor working in homes with families and my eight years of experience as an Emergency Medical Technician. I have sat with people through some of the worst days of their lives. Because of this, I learned patience and empathy. Experiencing trauma and crisis first-hand has given me a unique understanding of how the world spins. Together, we will set goals and find ways to achieve them! I look forward to chatting with you!

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. As you are aware, we are living in unprecedented times. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach. Since graduating with my Master's in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2013, I have worked with folks across a wide array of presenting concerns, including managing symptoms of anxiety, mood dysregulation, and depression, healing with/from trauma, managing grief and loss, recovery from substance abuse and addiction, chronic illness, & LGBT issues. I work with clients at every stage of development in 1:1, couples, and family sessions. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be innovative, caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am responsive, honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. When we work together, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and help you reach your goals. If you feel as though challenges are interfering with your sense of happiness and ability to function to your fullest potential, or if you are ready to alter your current life path, then I am available and able to assist you on your journey towards recovery. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.

Constance Moody
Hi, I am a licensed professional counselor with approximately 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with many different populations and believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. Much of my experience is in the field of addiction (drugs, alcohol, food, and work), but I also have extensive experience with mood disorders and personality disorders. My preferred approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) because it is highly effective. I also have some experience with dialectical behavior therapy, which I think provides the best type of group experience. In CBT we learn how our belief system is a lens through which we see everything in life. The lens affects how we feel about things and our behaviors. By becoming aware of this lens, we become able to change it, which can lead to dramatic changes in our lives. The best thing about these therapies is that you will learn how to use them on your own so they become a lifelong skill that can really improve the quality of your life.

Additionally, I have seen clients in a private practice setting. I have knowledge and training in crisis management and de-escalation. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, self-harm, anxiety, career and life changes, ADHD, panic disorder and relationship issues.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
When should I get a therapist in Pennsylvania?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy the safe option?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
