New to Grow
I’m Claire, a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Texas. I’m currently accepting clients in the afternoons and evenings. My style is warm, gentle, inquisitive, collaborative, and affirming. Meeting with someone new is a chance to slow down and explore what’s possible. I aim to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported, a space to better understand who you are, what matters to you, and where you want to go next. Many people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, disconnected from themselves, or unsure where to start, especially when life circumstances have shifted. I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, chronic health challenges, burnout, and life transitions, and I also work with adolescents when it’s a good fit. When working with teens, I take a developmentally thoughtful and collaborative approach, and parent or caregiver involvement is included intentionally when helpful while still respecting developmental needs and privacy.
In our first session, we’ll spend time exploring what brought you to therapy, what’s been feeling most difficult lately, and what you hope to gain from this process. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out beforehand. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and supportive for you. The first session is also a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding patterns, stressors, strengths, and what currently supports your well-being. My goal is to create a space that feels welcoming, grounded, and collaborative, where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing openly, and beginning to reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate way.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, with a strong focus on helping clients better understand themselves while building practical, sustainable ways of coping and functioning. I aim to create a space that feels grounded, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, where clients can explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater clarity and self-trust. I often work well with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, highly self-aware but stuck, or disconnected from themselves after long periods of stress, masking, caregiving, or survival mode. My work is informed by trauma-aware, neurodiversity-affirming, and strengths-based perspectives, and I often integrate mindfulness, nervous system awareness, and practical problem-solving alongside deeper emotional processing. Clients often describe appreciating the balance of emotional support, curiosity, and concrete tools, as well as the ability to move at a pace that feels thoughtful and manageable rather than overwhelming.
I tend to work especially well with adults and older teens who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves after spending a long time in survival mode. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, managing chronic stress or health concerns, navigating trauma, life transitions, burnout, or difficulty balancing the needs of others with their own. They’re often insightful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, people-pleasing, shutdown, perfectionism, or nervous system dysregulation. They’re looking for a therapy space that feels collaborative, gentle, grounded, and practical rather than judgmental or overly clinical. My approach tends to resonate with clients who want both emotional support and concrete tools for building more clarity, self-trust, regulation, and sustainable ways of functioning.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming CBT to help clients gently build awareness of patterns between thoughts, emotions, body responses, and behaviors. Together, we explore ways to reduce overwhelm, self-criticism, anxiety, and stuck patterns while creating coping tools that feel realistic, compassionate, and aligned with each person’s nervous system, values, and lived experience.
Somatic
I incorporate mindfulness and body-based approaches to help clients reconnect with their nervous system, emotions, and internal sense of safety. Somatic work may include grounding, breathwork, nervous system regulation, body awareness, and noticing how stress, trauma, grief, chronic illness, or overwhelm can show up physically in the body.
Humanistic
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based. Humanistic therapy focuses on helping clients feel deeply seen, understood, and accepted while exploring personal growth, identity, emotions, relationships, meaning, and values in a way that honors each person’s unique experiences and natural capacity for healing.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use parts work and Internal Family Systems-informed approaches to help clients explore different emotional parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion rather than shame. This can support healing around trauma, inner conflict, self-criticism, people-pleasing, grief, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm while helping clients build a stronger sense of self-trust and internal safety.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use solution-focused therapy to help clients identify strengths, build on what is already working, and create meaningful changes in manageable steps. This approach can be especially helpful for clients feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or uncertain where to begin, while still honoring the deeper emotional and nervous system factors involved.
