About Clare
Clare Grey is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 18 years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and provides straightforward, practical counseling for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Background and approach
Clare focuses on clear steps to help clients move toward their goals. She has worked in hospitals and outpatient settings, including oncology, psychiatry, chronic illness care, and women’s health.
That background gives her experience with medical and emotional challenges that come together in hard times. She also has a history supporting young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults.
Clare uses a mix of conversational, skills-based work and evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking, client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace, and motivational strategies to build momentum.
The Gottman Method appears in her approach list as an option to address relationship patterns. Sessions are practical and goal-focused.
Clare helps people name a small next step, try it out, and adjust as needed. She pays attention to the overlap between emotional strain and life events like caregiving, illness, career shifts, or grief.
Her practice also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues common in aging and caregiving. Clare aims to create a steady, humane space where clients can work through immediate problems and build coping skills for the future.
Approaches at Work Online
Clare uses a few complementary approaches to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections, helping people build more supported ways of relating and reducing loneliness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare talks with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, and she tailors methods to fit. That means trying small changes together and adjusting methods when something isn’t working, rather than committing to one rigid plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for longer sessions and interactive skill practice, phone calls can fit a break during a workday, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
