About Clare

Clare Grey is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career concerns, addiction, and life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse and helps people managing caregiving, health-related stress, and end-of-life matters.

Clare draws on practical counseling methods to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and straightforward strategies to manage mood and anxiety. She uses approaches that address how relationships and past experiences shape current reactions.

Her background includes inpatient and outpatient settings, hospitals, oncology, psychiatric care, and women’s health. That work involved counseling people through chronic illness, trauma, and life transitions. Those settings shaped a direct style that centers problem-solving alongside emotional processing.

In sessions Clare combines cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment‑focused thinking and motivational methods. She uses mindfulness tools and relationship-focused techniques when helpful. The mix is chosen to fit the concern at hand and the person in front of her.

People who reach out often want practical ways to cope with anxiety, move through grief, manage addiction, or rebuild after relationship breakdown. She helps individuals set small, achievable steps and track progress over time. To start, she asks about immediate needs, current supports, and what feels most pressing right now.

How therapeutic approaches show up online

Attachment‑based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships. Online sessions can use conversations and exercises to identify patterns of closeness, distance, and trust and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses concrete skills like thought tracking, behavior experiments, and problem-solving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention skills that can help with stress, rumination, and emotional ups and downs.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Clare will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, avoid travel time, or use a brief check-in when time is limited. Some approaches translate well to a video or phone conversation, while others may focus on between-session exercises and short worksheets that you can use on your own time. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to the medium you choose and plan sessions to match your schedule and needs.
