Claudia Clarke

Claudia Clarke is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Claudia aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable for someone juggling family and work demands.

Claudia works with common life challenges like big transitions, isolation, and problems with communication. She also helps people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and patterns linked to narcissism. Her practice includes support for mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, and issues around money or midlife change.

Her style is compassionate and culturally aware. She creates a space where people can talk through their experiences and try concrete coping strategies. Sessions emphasize relearning patterns, building new routines, and strengthening practical skills that improve day-to-day life.

Claudia describes her work as collaborative. She helps clients identify priorities, test small changes, and track progress. Over time this approach aims to reduce distress and increase confidence in handling triggers and setbacks.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and availability.

Evidence-based approaches and how they help online

Claudia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One approach helps people learn coping skills to manage anxiety and mood swings, using short exercises and step-by-step behavioral changes to reduce distress. Another approach targets patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people recognize repeating dynamics and try new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods as goals evolve, so treatment stays relevant to daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. This profile does not list specific delivery methods, so ask which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from the day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and progress tracking to work well at a distance, making therapy practical for people managing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
