About Clare

Clare Grey is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting concerns, addiction, and life changes. Clare has also supported people with caregiver strain, cancer-related issues, and end-of-life concerns.

Her background includes counseling in educational settings, hospitals, oncology and psychiatry units, and women's health programs. She has provided direct counseling across inpatient and outpatient care. That experience shaped a practical approach to common problems adults bring from home and work.

Clare uses several straightforward methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. She uses Attachment-Based work to look at how early bonds affect current relationships, and she applies Motivational Interviewing to support people making changes around substance use or other habits.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals and small steps people can try between meetings. Clare talks through coping strategies for anxiety and depression, communication skills around relationship strain, and plans for managing caregiver or parenting stress. She also addresses grief, trauma, and challenges that come with aging.

People who prefer clear, practical conversations about what to try next may find her style helpful. She offers services in English and practices from Ohio as an Ohio LISW.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online sessions

Clare often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for stress, depression, and many everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. That approach can help when relationship strain or parenting concerns feel rooted in past experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and may change as sessions progress.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into weekday breaks or evenings, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited and supports using tools like worksheets, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises between meetings to keep progress moving.
