About Clara

Clara D'agostino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, isolation and questions about life purpose and women's issues.

Clara spends sessions helping people talk through what feels stuck. She uses clear, practical methods aimed at small changes that add up. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, exercises to try between sessions, and attention to everyday barriers like overwhelm or low energy.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening and mindfulness to slow down intense emotion. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect current stress. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress in measurable steps.

Clara has worked in community and clinical settings over two decades. Her background includes tools from expressive arts and mindfulness practices to help people feel more grounded during hard moments. She brings that experience to practical problem solving rather than long lectures.

How her approaches translate to online work

Clara uses client-centered therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. That means she listens for current priorities and adapts sessions to practical needs, whether the topic is anxiety, grief, or life purpose. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with each client to decide which combination of client-centered listening, mindfulness, or attachment ideas fits best. That conversation considers the client’s goals, daily routines, and preferred ways of working so sessions feel useful and realistic.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these possibilities to help therapy fit into everyday life without asking for major schedule changes.
