Clare Grey

Clare Grey is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career uncertainty, addiction, parenting strains, and life purpose questions. Clare has a long history of counseling people through major life changes and health-related transitions.

Her background includes work across hospital settings such as oncology and psychiatry, as well as outpatient care and women's health services. She has supported young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults through adjustment and mood concerns. Clare has provided direct counseling in both inpatient and outpatient contexts.

Clare describes herself as trauma-focused and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and motivational methods. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and set small achievable goals. She also uses attachment-informed ideas when relationship patterns are relevant.

People come to her when a job change, loss, illness, or caregiving role leaves them unsure what to do next. She works through current problems and practical next steps rather than offering quick fixes. Conversations are structured around the client’s goals and pace.

Her practice also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life concerns, blended family challenges, first responder stress, and substance use problems. Clare aims to help people develop clearer coping strategies and steadier routines during times of change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Clare uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how people feel. It can help with anxiety, depression, and practical problems like work stress or coping with health issues. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s concerns and pacing, allowing them to lead conversations and set priorities that matter to them.

She also brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions when relationship patterns affect current problems. That approach looks at how early and current relationship habits shape trust, communication, and emotional reactions, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and caregiving stress. Clare treats the selection of approach as collaborative and will help figure out what fits your goals and preferences over the first few meetings.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. In general, therapists can adapt techniques like brief behavioral experiments, goal setting, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions to support steady progress without requiring in-person visits.
