Clarinda Squires

Clarinda Squires is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Clarinda also focuses on commitment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and women's issues.

Her background includes clinical assessments, community mental health, crisis work, and private practice. That mix gives her experience with both short-term crises and longer-term patterns that keep coming back. She often meets people who appear to be managing outward responsibilities while feeling emotionally exhausted underneath.

Clarinda’s style is direct and grounded. She asks thoughtful questions and offers practical tools rather than simply agreeing. Sessions aim to slow down experiences, name what is happening internally, and spot the cycles that keep a person stuck.

She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-informed approaches alongside strengths-based work and motivational interviewing. Those techniques are paired with emotional regulation and communication tools you can try between sessions. The focus is on concrete steps that change day-to-day life rather than abstract theories.

In work with Clarinda, clients can expect clear feedback, collaborative planning, and attention to real-world problems like balancing work, relationships, and parenting. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Clarinda draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Those methods break down problematic thinking and build concrete skills for managing anxiety and stress. Trauma-informed care is also central, which means attention to how past hurts affect current reactions and pacing work to avoid re-triggering. Both approaches are practical and aimed at changing daily patterns rather than only talking about the past.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT skill for a few weeks, then shifting to trauma-informed tools or motivational interviewing strategies when appropriate.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during transitions and let sessions happen from locations that work with a person's schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication work so the therapy supports everyday routines.
