About Klaire

Klaire Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Klaire emphasizes a practical, supportive approach that respects each person's strengths and life story.

She sees therapy as a collaborative effort. Klaire listens first and helps clients set realistic goals. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and grounded, so parents and adults can use what they learn right away.

Background and approach

Klaire uses tools from client-centered therapy to build trust and understand each person’s perspective. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. For those dealing with traumatic memories, she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues, including ADHD, relationship and family stress, body image, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Klaire is also available to support people facing career stress, anger, and life transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Klaire encourages anyone taking their first step toward change to expect a calm, steady pace and clear, practical ideas they can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own strengths and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stress. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories by working through them in a paced way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods might help most based on their needs, goals, and comfort level. Treatment can adapt over time as progress is made.

Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face connection from home, while live chat and text messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins when that fits a schedule better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life and to keep continuity of care when routines change.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
