Ferris Clare is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and depression. She centers sessions on practical tools and steady support so clients can make changes that matter. Ferris brings six years of professional experience to her work in Connecticut and speaks English.

Background and approach
Ferris weaves faith and values into sessions when clients want that element. She uses straightforward techniques to help people reframe unhelpful thinking and build healthier patterns. Trauma-informed ideas are used to guide healing from past hurts and painful relationship dynamics.
In a typical session she helps clients notice thought patterns, practice new skills, and set boundaries that support wellbeing. Emphasis is on small, usable tools that fit into busy lives. Clients leave with concrete steps they can try between sessions.
She often supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, questions about life purpose, and struggles with self-love and self-esteem. Social anxiety and phobia are also within her focus areas. Ferris aims to create an affirming environment where clients direct the goals and pace of work.
Evidence-based tools and online access
Ferris commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. These practical steps are useful for anxiety, social phobia, and everyday stress, and they often involve simple exercises to practice between sessions.She also applies trauma-informed care principles to recognize how past experiences affect current reactions. This approach focuses on safety, pacing, and practical coping skills to reduce reactivity and support steady healing.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ferris will talk with each person about goals, prior experience, and preferences, then adapt the methods used over time. The aim is to find what feels most helpful and sustainable for the individual.
Online therapy with Ferris is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone can be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and messaging let clients check in quickly, send brief updates, or have shorter touchpoints between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping continuity of care across sessions.
