About Claire
Claire Simon is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with ten years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and family concerns. She focuses on practical skills and clear goals that clients can use between sessions. Claire works with people facing young adult issues such as starting careers, moving out, and relationship changes.
Her approach uses evidence-based and integrative techniques chosen to match each person's needs. Sessions emphasize teaching coping skills, mood management strategies, and tools for reducing self-criticism. She also integrates trauma-informed practices for people who have experienced abuse or assault.
Claire aims for short-term, focused work when that fits a client's goals and circumstances. That can mean breaking problems into concrete steps and tracking progress over a few weeks or months. She also supports longer-term work when people want to explore deeper patterns over time.
She often helps clients develop day-to-day routines to manage mood and stress. That includes practical strategies for anxiety, techniques to handle panic symptoms, and plans for coping with seasonal mood shifts. Veterans and people with military backgrounds are listed among her additional focus areas.
Claire uses client feedback to guide treatment choices and shares resources clients can use on their own. People who want to start meeting with her are asked to complete an online matching form and schedule a first session to discuss goals and plan next steps.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates methods to match what each client needs. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; they are often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and obsessions. Trauma-informed strategies focus on safety, pacing, and teaching grounding and coping skills to reduce distress after abuse or assault. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to review what helps, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on feedback. That means goals, homework, and teaching skills are agreed on together rather than imposed. Confirm session delivery options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use telephone or video in different situations depending on comfort, bandwidth, and scheduling needs. The clinician will discuss the practical setup when arranging the first appointment so sessions can fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
