Claire Nana

Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She brings 15 years of experience helping people with anger, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Claire focuses on practical steps people can try right away to feel steadier and more in control.

Her style is direct but respectful. Sessions often center on what matters most to the person and on realistic next steps. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people choose different responses in daily life.

Claire uses a mix of client-centered work and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past events affect present choices. She also draws on existential perspectives to help people clarify values and find meaning. Trauma-focused tools are part of her work when people have a history of abuse or overwhelming events.

She has presented at international conferences and written continuing education courses for other therapists. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets goals with people who come to her for help.

Outside of practice, Claire runs ultramarathons and trains rescue horses in dressage. She brings the same steady focus to therapy that she uses in her training and writing.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online work

Claire uses client-centered methods that focus on the person in front of her, helping them name what matters and set clear, achievable goals. This approach is useful for anger, stress, self-esteem, and everyday coping because it centers the person's own priorities.

She also uses existential ideas to help people clarify values and life purpose. That work helps when major life changes, grief, or a sense of meaninglessness are part of the problem. Psychodynamic perspectives are used to notice recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can be helpful for longstanding anger or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone's routine. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, trauma-focused tools, and goal-setting work to remote sessions while focusing on what will help the person most.
