About Ferris
Ferris Clare is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, faith-informed care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She writes plainly and listens closely to help clients reframe thinking and set boundaries. Sessions emphasize tools that can be used day to day.
Ferris aims to help people move from coping to purposeful change. She has six years of clinical experience across independent practice and social services.
Background and approach
That background includes leading professional development programs and workshops. These roles shaped a down-to-earth style that blends practical exercises with reflective conversation. Ferris uses evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual principles when clients want that integration.
She commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-informed care to address stress, communication problems, and patterns that repeat across relationships. The focus is on helping clients gain skills and insight they can act on between sessions. In the room she prioritizes empathy, cultural awareness, and clear direction.
Clients can expect goal-focused work and concrete steps for issues such as self-esteem, control struggles, and social anxiety. The aim is to leave therapy with stronger self-knowledge and more confident choices. Her practice is based in Connecticut and sessions are offered in English.
Ferris frames therapy as a collaborative process that centers the client’s values and goals.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Ferris often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors. These techniques are structured and work well in virtual sessions for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.She also integrates trauma-informed care to help people understand how past experiences affect current reactions. This approach prioritizes pacing, safety, and building coping skills so clients feel more in control of emotional responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ferris partners with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and exercises based on what a client finds most helpful, making therapy a collaborative process.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care easier to maintain. Video calls let clients and Ferris use visual cues and screen-shared worksheets, while phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide on-the-go check-ins and short skill practice between sessions. Together these options help people fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical progress and skill building.
