Claudette Clay

Claudette Clay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship strain, and depression. She writes short, focused plans with each person and keeps conversations respectful and down-to-earth. Claudette emphasizes straightforward support and steady encouragement as people work toward clearer choices and calmer days.

With 12 years of professional experience, she adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Claudette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and manage intense emotions. Sessions often include simple tools to try between meetings and step-by-step skill building.

She also helps with common sources of tension like communication problems, workplace stress, feelings of isolation, jealousy, guilt, and shame. Claudette has experience addressing issues related to post-traumatic stress and veteran and armed forces concerns as well.

Her style is direct but compassionate. She works to create an atmosphere where people can speak honestly and try practical changes. Claudette encourages small experiments and gradual progress rather than demanding dramatic shifts right away.

People who choose her can expect clear goals, simple strategies, and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, she guides clients through an initial plan and adjusts it as needs change.

CBT and DBT tools for online emotional work

Claudette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves short, focused homework tasks and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. DBT skills are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudette will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily life to choose which techniques to try first. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on what is most helpful for the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in the contexts where problems happen and to review homework between sessions. Ask about specific session options when you schedule so they match your needs and routine.
