More about Claire

- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Art Therapist. I use a client centered approach, meeting you where you are and focusing on your needs. You are the one leading the session while I guide and support you through the process while encouraging positive change within yourself. The person centered approach supports mental health by coming from a place of empathy during each counseling session. The goals of this practice include increasing self-awareness, improving the clients ability to use self direction to make desired changes, increasing clarity, improving self-esteem, and boosting the clients self-reliance. My goal is to provide a safe nonjudgmental space, accepting you fully for you to open up. I believe in meeting you where you are and help you get to where you see yourself and want to be. I believe in getting to know the whole person and creating a treatment plan together to be the best version of yourself. My goal is to provide you with tools that you can use in your everyday life.
A majority of my availability is in the evenings and on the weekends. I am able to text/chat only for the time being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
