About Clare
Clare Grey is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She practices out of Ohio and offers straightforward counseling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Clare focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She listens first, then helps clients set small goals. Sessions tend to center on what is working now and what can be changed next. Her background includes work in hospitals and outpatient settings, including oncology and psychiatry, and roles that supported education and women’s health.
Background and approach
That range of experience shaped a calm, steady style for handling crisis and transitions. Clare uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods when they fit a person's needs. She blends these to help with mood concerns, relationship stress, caregiving strain, and addiction-related challenges.
People who come for help with parenting strain, career stress, grief, or feelings of isolation often find concrete tools and clearer next steps. Clare also works with issues related to aging, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and first responder stress. Her sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills through conversation, simple exercises, and planning.
Clare helps people track progress and adjust the plan as life shifts.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Clare uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect stress and self-worth. That approach helps when relationship patterns or caregiving roles add pressure.
Clare blends these with a client-centered stance, which means sessions follow what matters most to the person in the room. She helps people set goals, practices skills together, and adjusts plans based on what is working.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Clare treats that selection as a collaboration and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits a person’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging makes brief, regular contact possible. These options help people fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving routines, or medical appointments while keeping therapy practical and ongoing.
