About Ferris
Ferris Clare is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship or family tension.

She has six years of experience across independent practice and social services. That background includes running professional development workshops and programs for organizations, so she brings both clinical and practical perspectives to sessions.
Background and approach
Ferris draws on professional knowledge and lived experience to guide conversations with cultural awareness and sensitivity. Sessions often emphasize reframing thoughts, building boundaries, and clarifying values. Ferris integrates spiritual principles when it fits a person’s goals alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and trauma-informed care.
The focus is on concrete skills people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, handle control issues, and improve communication. People who work with her can expect straightforward feedback and a plan for small, steady changes. The aim is deeper self-understanding, clearer choices, and tools for self-love and purpose.
Ferris describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s voice shapes the work. Her practice is based in Connecticut and sessions are offered in English. She supports people through life transitions, identity questions, and the aftermath of difficult relationships using a blend of practical strategies and compassionate listening.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Ferris uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts, which can ease anxiety and depression. She also incorporates trauma-informed practices to recognize the effects of past hurt and to build safety, coping skills, and better emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ferris will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client decide on a plan and adjust it as progress is made, keeping the relationship collaborative and goal oriented.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit quick reflections or coping ideas into a busy day. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to attend around work and family life.
