Clare Grey, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Clare

Clare Grey is a licensed independent social worker with nearly two decades of practice. She brings practical, straightforward counseling to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Clare writes and speaks plainly in sessions so parents and caregivers can follow next steps.

She works from Ohio and holds the LISW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker. Clare draws on experience across hospitals, oncology, psychiatry, and women’s health.

Background and approach

That background informs how she supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also has experience with addiction, trauma, and mood disorders. Her work includes helping people manage compassion fatigue and find meaning during hard transitions.

In sessions she uses evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. She is trauma-focused and adapts methods to fit what each person needs. Conversations are practical and goal oriented, with simple strategies to try between sessions.

Clare pays attention to communication and relationship patterns and uses attachment ideas to help people understand how they connect with others. The Gottman Method influences her approach to relationship work and communication problems. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to reduce stress and improve focus.

Her style is direct and warm. She helps clients set clear, realistic steps and tracks progress over time. People who want practical support for parenting, family stress, career changes, or life transitions may find her approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Clare uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and task focused, which often helps when stress or depression make daily life harder.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in how people connect and communicate. That lens helps with relationship struggles, communication problems, and understanding emotional reactions to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then blend methods to fit the situation. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and to practice new skills between appointments.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
