Suggest Treatment For Kleptomania

I have a 20 year old daughter who has often, throughout her life been a habitual liar and petty thief from friends and family. She graduated from school, started a career and stole from her employer. She was terminated (obviously). Shows no signs of remorse and does not willingly help out around the house or keep up with her responsibilities. She has been seeing a psychologist. She has also been stealing from us. Ideas?
