Clare Grey, LISW

Clare Grey is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 18 years of clinical experience supporting adults through life transitions, mood concerns, and difficult circumstances. She has worked across settings that include educational environments, career and employment contexts, hospital care for chronic illness, psychiatry, oncology, and trauma, as well as women’s health in both inpatient and outpatient programs. Across these roles she has provided direct counseling to young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults, developing particular skill in addressing adjustment to change, depression, and anxiety.

Clare practices as a trauma-focused counselor and draws on evidence-based methods to meet each client’s needs. Her approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside solution-focused strategies and motivational techniques to help clients build coping skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward personal goals. She is experienced in supporting people with relationship and family concerns, addiction and substance use issues, caregiver and aging-related stress, and a wide range of mood and trauma-related difficulties.

Committed to collaborative work, Clare aims to help clients clarify priorities, strengthen resilience, and make meaningful progress toward wellness and life balance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Clare Grey

Clare integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult relationships; it can be helpful for people working on trust, connection, and attachment injuries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by building skills and changing patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore their goals at their own pace and feel heard.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Clare works collaboratively with clients to assess what fits best based on individual goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts methods over time as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining ongoing, structured care focused on progress and practical skills.
