Clare Grey

Clare Grey is a licensed independent social worker with 18 years of experience. She has provided direct counseling in hospitals and outpatient settings and supports adults facing major life transitions. Clare focuses on practical help for depression, anxiety, and stress so people can handle day-to-day challenges more easily.

She has worked in education, employment services, oncology, psychiatry, and trauma care. That background informs how she approaches issues related to chronic illness, caregiving, and aging. She also supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stress that follows major losses.

Clare blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are also part of her practice when they fit the person’s goals.

Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life steps. Clare works with people on relationship problems, career stress, substance use challenges, parenting strain, and communication issues. She pays attention to compassion fatigue and first responder stress as well.

Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. Clare helps people set small, doable changes and build on them. She invites clients to try different strategies and adjust the work based on what helps most.

How Clare’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Clare commonly uses attachment-based work to look at recurring relationship patterns and how they affect current stress. That approach helps when connections with others make daily life harder or when relationship history keeps resurfacing in present problems.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it gives specific skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right fit is a joint process. Clare works with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches matches their goals and preferences. She checks in as the work progresses and adjusts methods based on what is most helpful.

Session logistics are not listed here, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect with a licensed professional from different settings, which can be helpful for those managing caregiving, medical appointments, or work shifts.
