How Claire works

She combines client-centered work with psychodynamic ideas about how past relationships shape current behavior. Claire also draws on trauma-focused techniques to reduce the hold of painful memories. Existential thinking helps people clarify values and make choices that fit their goals.

Claire has worked with many types of life challenges, including eating and body-image issues, addictions, attachment and blended family concerns, obsessive-compulsive struggles, and prejudice or multicultural stress. She frames problems in everyday terms and helps people build practical coping skills. Outside of therapy, Claire spends time on endurance sports and caring for her rescue horses.

Her personal interests keep her grounded and curious about resilience. People who want straightforward, thoughtful help with big life problems often find her approach respectful and purposeful.

Online support options

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following each person's lead. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings and make decisions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and how they show up now. That kind of work can help with repeating difficulties in relationships, self-esteem, and long-standing behavior patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation may lead to trying one method or blending several approaches as progress unfolds. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support more frequent, brief touchpoints between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and to maintain steady contact over time.
