About Claire
Claire Belcher is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She brings 13 years of experience to work with people facing trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Claire uses straightforward, practical talk to help clients take small steps toward change.
She focuses on translating work done in sessions into everyday life. That means talking through how patterns show up at home, at work, and in relationships.
Background and approach
Claire emphasizes respect and positive regard while helping clients build coping skills and clearer communication. Her background includes supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, addiction histories, codependency, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses relationship strains such as divorce, infidelity, and family problems.
Claire pays attention to emotional struggles like guilt, shame, isolation, impulsivity, and self-harm tendencies. Therapy with her tends to be practical and collaborative. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes and practice them between meetings.
Claire encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice progress, even when it feels slow. She offers sessions in English and provides several remote options for meeting. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Claire frames the work as a partnership focused on growth and clearer everyday functioning.
Evidence-based approaches offered remotely
Claire uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and practical skill building. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which helps people process painful memories and learn grounding skills to reduce overwhelming reactions. This kind of work often includes pacing and safety planning so clients can manage distress in daily life.Another frequent approach is skill-focused therapy for mood and attention concerns. This involves teaching concrete strategies for managing low mood, improving routines, and handling ADHD-related challenges like impulsivity and distraction. Techniques are practiced in session and then tried at home to see what fits each person's life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Claire works together with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative decision helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and doable.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. These options make it easier to keep up with therapy when life is busy, allow follow-up between appointments, and let people access licensed professionals from home or work.
