About Clifford

Clifford Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in counseling and psychology. He earned a Master of Education in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Brewton-Parker College. Clifford has worked extensively with high-risk youth, people facing substance use challenges, and individuals with intellectual disabilities.

He also serves as CEO of CareMore Counseling Center, LLC in Sandersville, Georgia. Clifford favors straightforward, skills-based work that helps people manage immediate problems.

Background and approach

He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but blends other methods when a different approach fits better. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies, clearer communication, and steps to reduce stress and impulsive reactions. Parents and caregivers may find his background useful when navigating adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, or complex family dynamics.

He has experience addressing trauma, grief, anger, and addiction-related issues. Clifford also addresses concerns related to ADHD, life transitions, and questions about identity and relationships. In therapy he uses tools like motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals.

He incorporates trauma-informed practices when past hurt is central to the problem. The overall style is direct, pragmatic, and focused on building coping skills. For those in Georgia who prefer remote options, Clifford offers a mix of video, phone, chat, and text-based sessions.

Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to his availability.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs space to feel heard and to explore their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and strengthen their commitment, which is useful for addictions and ambivalence about new choices.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, previous experiences, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if a technique does not fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer meeting remotely. Clifford provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to keep regular work on goals, practice new skills between sessions, and stay connected when in-person visits are difficult.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
