    About Clare

    Clare Grey is a licensed independent social worker with 18 years of experience. She practices in Ohio and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Clare draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people make steady progress.

    She has worked in schools, hospitals, oncology and psychiatry settings, and in women's health across inpatient and outpatient care. That background means she has seen a wide range of situations, from chronic illness and trauma to career and education transitions. Clare commonly supports people managing grief, caregiver strain, and adjustment after significant events.

    Her style is direct and collaborative. Clare uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build momentum. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and client-centered ways of staying focused on each person’s goals.

    Sessions tend to center on clear steps and practical strategies. Clare helps clients set realistic goals, try new behaviors, and review what worked. She pays attention to relationships, communication problems, and the mix of stressors that affect daily life.

    People who prefer a warm but goal-focused approach may find her helpful. Clare aims to make progress feel doable and to help clients leave sessions with a next step they can try between meetings.

  2. How Clare’s approaches translate to online sessions

    Clare uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and to build momentum toward goals. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify steps they are ready to try. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas that pay attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior, which can help with communication problems and isolation.

    Finding the right approach is a team effort. Clare works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings around work, medical appointments, or caregiving responsibilities. Online sessions can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose an interaction style that feels most comfortable for them.
