About Clare
Clare Grey is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 18 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career changes, and parenting challenges. She has worked in hospital and outpatient settings and with people facing medical and psychiatric issues. Clare commonly supports people coping with trauma, substance concerns, and major life transitions.
Her background includes direct counseling across education, employment, oncology, psychiatry, and women’s health contexts. That practical experience informs how she keeps sessions focused and actionable. She has worked with younger adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults, and she notes experience with caregiving and end-of-life issues.
Clare uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based approaches, client-centered methods, the Gottman method, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when these approaches fit the concern. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different ways of responding. The work is often structured with clear, short-term goals.
She often addresses addiction, family problems, communication breakdowns, and compassion fatigue. Clare also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, cancer-related stress, and first responder stress. Her practice emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Clare commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work in sessions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies for shifting them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping skills. Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and how past connections influence current responses, which is useful for relationship issues and emotional regulation.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the focus on the person’s goals and preferences, and motivational interviewing to support change when substance use or ambivalence is present. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and pick methods that match the problem, pace, and preferences of the person seeking help.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to use video or phone depending on bandwidth or comfort, which helps keep appointments possible around work or caregiving demands.
