She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC in Tennessee with six years of experience. Clara focuses on helping clients who are worn down by compulsive behaviors, relationship strain, or major life changes.
Her sessions emphasize a warm, non-judgmental connection so people can speak openly about shame, guilt, and fear.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how attachment patterns and past losses shape current reactions. Conversations move from understanding patterns to building practical coping skills that fit daily life. Clara integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior tools to manage intense emotions.
She also uses emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Typical concerns she helps with include struggles around eating and exercise, social media and internet use, gaming or gambling behaviors, and caregiving stress.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, blended family tensions, and commitment or control issues. Clara aims to meet each person where they are and work collaboratively on clear, achievable steps. Sessions combine listening, practical strategies, and encouragement to help people regain a sense of control and move forward.
How Clara’s Approaches Work Online
Clara commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connection and trust. This helps people who struggle with abandonment fears, attachment issues, or repeated relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Clara partners with clients to decide which tools fit your goals and situation. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the plan feels helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet when in-person sessions are hard to arrange. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates or process emotions between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week while keeping the focus on steady progress.
