She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and issues that affect self-esteem and motivation. Klaire emphasizes a practical, strengths-based approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

She believes the first step toward change takes courage, and she aims to make that step easier. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Klaire listens first, then helps people identify small, realistic steps they can try between sessions.

Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. For trauma-related concerns she may incorporate EMDR techniques when appropriate.

Klaire has experience with a range of concerns including ADHD, relationship and family stress, anger, career pressures, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with body image, social anxiety, isolation, and young adult transitions.

In sessions Klaire focuses on clear skills, simple experiments, and practical problem solving. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can try new strategies and track small successes over time.

How Klaire’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps the client set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and build practical habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that can help process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided stimulation; it is often used when trauma memories interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Over time they may combine methods or change strategies based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat lets clients check in between appointments or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
