Claire Nana, LMFT - Therapist in Colorado

About Claire

Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on common and painful life problems. She helps people dealing with things like addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and struggles with self-esteem. Claire also supports people facing relationship strain, career questions, eating and body-image concerns, and the challenges of change.

She draws on 15 years of clinical experience as an LMFT to create conversations that are straightforward and respectful.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Claire listens for what matters most and helps clients find workable steps forward. Her work blends client-centered listening with deeper inquiry into meaning and past patterns.

That mix makes space for emotional safety while also addressing long-standing issues. Trauma-focused ideas guide the work when painful events need careful attention. Claire has presented at conferences and developed continuing education for other therapists.

That background informs how she organizes sessions and the tools she offers people. She aims to bring clarity and useful options into each conversation. Outside of clinical work she spends time ultrarunning, training rescue horses in dressage, and finishing a manuscript.

Those activities inform her patience and persistence in the therapy room. Claire believes people already hold the resources to shape a more meaningful life, and she offers steady support to help them use those resources.

Approaches and how online therapy works

Claire uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and responding to each person’s concerns. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s experience and helping them identify their own goals and strengths.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past hurts need careful attention. That approach helps people process painful events and reduce the ways those events keep affecting daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reach clients across distances, and maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. Many people find that remote sessions let them access consistent support without extra travel time, and the variety of formats lets clients pick what feels most comfortable for each step of their work.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
