Kaleigh Clarke
As a Licensed Clinical Social worker I believe in helping you, to help yourself. Balancing the everyday challenges of life at work, at home and in relationships can be difficult to navigate alone.
Having served clients in Florida for the past 8 years in my work as a clinician and in welfare, my professional and personal philosophy is to meet people where they are.
I will use a client-centered approach and various evidence-based practices to help you on your journey of self discovery and to manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Let’s work together to develop the skills and resources you already have, as well as discover new ones in order to problem solve and achieve measurable progress towards your therapeutic goals.
First session
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions to get to know one another and then address what problems or life events have prompted you to seek therapy. Once we have identified what specific challenges you are facing, we will discuss goals, expectations and how the therapeutic collaboration can work towards developing a plan to achieve those goals.
Strengths
Having served clients in Florida for the past 8 years in my work as a clinician and in welfare, my professional and personal philosophy is to meet people where they are. Therapy is a vulnerable journey of healing. I will utilize individualized care and collaboration to make you feel accepted, safe and ready to become the best version of yourself. I believe therapy should be accessible for everyone, I offer in-person and virtual appointments.
Ideal clients
I love working with an array of clients and couples who want to heal from their past experiences and improve wellbeing. My approach is client centered and I am certified in trauma focused care. I believe in treating the person, not just the diagnosis. We will work together to discover how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other. Then we will use that knowledge to alter your thinking patterns, which will help you to live a better life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have 7 years experience with utilizing CBT in my practice to assist an array of clients from adolescents to vulnerable adults and elderly to problem-solve. We will work together to discover how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. Then we'll use that knowledge to alter your thinking patterns, which will help you to live a better life.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I have been practicing Solution-Focused Treatment modalities for five years to help clients to utilize supports and positive coping skills they already possess to achieve a goal or desired outcome.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I have five years experience with using Mindfulness-Based Therapy in my practice. It has helped many clients to utilize acceptance, breathing exercises and other tools that will help them replace their negative thinking with calmness, compassion, and positive action to remain in the present and break away from negative thought patterns.
Motivational Interviewing
In the five years I have utilized Motivational Interviewing in my practice, I have helped dozens of clients to help themselves. With MI treatment, we will address apathy and resistance to change. With this knowledge clients can begin making positive change in their lives.
Psychoeducation
I have seven years experience with practicing Psychoeducation with my clients. With this treatment, I will provide knowledge, resources and positive coping skills to clients to help them understand their disorder and prevent relapse.
