Claire Oglander
Do you feel stuck? Are you dissatisfied with life? Are you having a difficult time managing stress due to the demands of work and relationships and just feeling overwhelmed? My name is Claire Oglander and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals and groups. I work with a wide range of issues that include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship issues and life transitions. I help my clients untangle unhelpful coping mechanisms and reteach healthy coping skills while addressing the root cause of the problem. I take a cognitive approach along with mindfulness skills.
First session
The first session we will be gathering information and learning about your needs and goals. I do like to carve out time for therapy and leave you with coping skills. The following sessions will be therapeutic in nature using evidence-based treatments that fit your situation and needs. We will uncover the root of your distress along with learning more healthy coping skills to help you tolerate and adapt with the ever changing circumstances life throws at us
Strengths
My biggest strength is the ability to build trust with my clients. I challenge my clients while supporting them through their journey. I have extensive experience working with CBT, DBT and problem-solving skills.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have had extensive experience with cognitive behavioral therapy working with both anxiety and depression. I have utilized this treatment method in my private practice along with group therapy. I help clients uncover their negative thought patterns that lead to depression and anxiety and challenge those negative thoughts in order to replace them with more helpful thoughts. This treatment method is evidence-based and proven to be most effective.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have used dialectical behavioral therapy in my work with group therapy and have seen the benefit. As a result I have incorporated DBT with CBT in my work with individuals. DBT has a mindfulness component and helps with tolerating emotions.
