Clare Grey, LISW

Clare Grey is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 18 years of clinical experience in Ohio. She offers straightforward counseling to people facing life changes, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and challenges related to caregiving and aging. Clare works with adults across different life stages and focuses on practical strategies clients can use right away.

Her background includes hospital work in oncology, psychiatry, and trauma settings, plus experience in women’s health and community programs. That variety shaped a direct, solutions-oriented style grounded in real-world needs. Clare helps people talk through difficult adjustments and find step-by-step ways to feel more stable.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect everyday wellbeing. Mindfulness and motivational approaches support clients who want clearer goals and steadier coping skills.

Clare is comfortable supporting people dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, addiction, and isolation or loneliness. She aims to make therapy practical and doable for busy lives, focusing on actions clients can try between meetings.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clare helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track small changes. Prospective clients should use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Clare’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how patterns in close relationships shape feelings and behavior; online sessions use these ideas to help people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the client’s experience and uses empathic listening to help people find their own answers and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to produce gradual improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy day, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness or CBT homework in their normal routines. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you schedule so you can pick what fits your life.
