About Claire
Claire Simon is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. She meets people where they are and helps set clear, attainable goals. Claire emphasizes teaching skills and sharing resources that can be used between sessions.
She uses integrative methods that are rooted in research and shaped by client feedback. Sessions tend to be goal-focused and trauma informed, often aiming for short-term gains while also addressing longer-term concerns.
Background and approach
She encourages a shift from self-criticism toward self-compassion and stronger daily coping skills. Claire works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. She also pays attention to concerns related to veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive struggles, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, sexual assault, women’s health topics, and young adult issues.
Her approach emphasizes practical tools clients can try between visits. That can include skills for mood regulation, managing anxious thoughts, or handling relationship stress. Progress is reviewed collaboratively so methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Claire brings ten years of clinical experience in Ohio and practices as an LISW. She offers care in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Practical evidence-based approaches for online care
Claire emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills. One approach often used helps people learn mood regulation strategies and ways to reduce overwhelming emotions; these tools are useful for depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. Another common strand focuses on cognitive skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce worry, panic, and obsessive thinking.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust plans based on what you find helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with their needs and pace.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain momentum between appointments by making regular sessions simpler to schedule. Licensed professionals can work with you to choose techniques and a rhythm of sessions that match your goals and daily routine.
