Claire and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her approach centers on building a trusting relationship and drawing out each person's strengths.

Background and approach
She uses straightforward techniques to help people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and to develop new coping skills. Dr. Claire combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods, alongside mindfulness and solution-focused tools.
That mix is used to address problems like low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, trauma, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, pain, cancer, aging issues, and major life changes. In practical terms, sessions are structured and supportive.
Clients can expect guidance, skill-building, and opportunities to practice new ways of responding to difficult emotions. Goals are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made. Her background includes a long career in education prior to counseling, which informs a clear, educational style in session.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard while identifying their own goals and strengths. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. It is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, and coping with life changes because it teaches concrete ways to change thinking and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help people manage intense emotions like anger and overwhelm and learn safer ways to respond.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. Clients help shape the plan and provide feedback so care stays practical and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls approximate an in-person session and allow face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, on-the-go support, and practicing skills between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches above.
