About Clair
Clair Figueroa is a California licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and issues related to LGBT identity. Clair also helps with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
She aims to create an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client.
How Clair works
Clair encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic and sustainable. Her background includes a decade of work in mental health settings across California. That experience shaped a flexible approach that adapts to each client's needs.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, relationship strain, and women's issues. Clair usually helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. She balances emotional support with practical skills, such as grounding and problem-solving.
The aim is to reduce distress and build confidence in daily life. Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Clair works with clients to set clear goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
She acknowledges that taking the first step takes courage and offers steady, respectful guidance along the way.

Online support options
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Clair uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing distress and building coping skills. One common approach helps people process difficult memories and learn ways to manage strong reactions; this approach is useful for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Another technique focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new responses to worry and self-criticism, which helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and body image concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Clair collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more personal interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
