Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Claire draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people identify their own strengths and values; it is often useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and develop new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so that the therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Claire is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it possible to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life, while still allowing therapists and licensed professionals to deliver focused, consistent support.
