Background and approach
Claire pays attention to the whole life context, including grief, family of origin issues, and problems that come with aging. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and struggles with substance use. Conversations may cover coping skills, relapse prevention, and improving day-to-day routines.
In sessions she aims to be sensitive and compassionate while encouraging small, realistic changes. She values collaboration and asks clients about their goals and what feels doable. Over time the focus is on building tools that fit each person’s life.
Therapy is offered through scheduled video sessions and can include phone or messaging options as appropriate. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on availability. The process begins with a brief intake to identify priorities and agree on next steps.

How CBT and online sessions can help with life changes
Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems down into clear steps so clients can try new responses to stress, anxiety, or mood shifts and see what works in daily life.She frames therapy as a team effort. Together the therapist and client look at goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed. Finding the best method is part of the work rather than a single one-size-fits-all plan, and Claire helps clients weigh what feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel more like an in-person visit for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, follow-up between sessions, and an option for people who prefer typing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on concrete skills and steady progress.
