About Clea
Clea Weiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy in New Jersey. She helps adults sort out stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Clea speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She draws from several ways of working to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That can mean talking through patterns that repeat in relationships, noticing thoughts that fuel anxiety, or practicing different ways to communicate.
How Clea works
Sessions often include goal-setting and short, doable steps between meetings. Clea pays close attention to family and parenting pressures, blended family issues, and the pain that follows separation or infidelity. She also supports people facing grief, career changes, low self-esteem, and the ups and downs of bipolar disorder.
Social anxiety and women's issues are part of her regular focus. Her style is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change. Clea balances longer-term reflection with practical, solution-focused work when that fits.
The result is a plan that feels useful and manageable. Therapy with her can involve talk, problem-solving exercises, and communication practice. Sessions are meant to help people make small changes that add up to real improvement.
She is based in New Jersey and conducts work in English.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead to uncover what matters most. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on emotions and attachment-like patterns to improve communication and connection in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and then recommend one or a mix of methods. That decision is made together and can change as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
