About Claudette

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience, Claudette Clay focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and depression. She works directly with people to address communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and workplace issues.

Claudette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as practical frameworks. Sessions tend to center on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, and practicing techniques in everyday situations. She aims to make therapy straightforward and action-oriented.

Her approach is to listen first, then set clear goals together. Conversations and interventions are adapted to the person in front of her rather than following a rigid script. Clients can expect focused work on skills such as emotion regulation, behavioral experiments, and communication practice.

Claudette draws on a decade-plus of clinical experience to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. That experience includes work with people affected by trauma and military-related issues. She balances structured methods with attention to what the client needs in each session.

Sessions are conducted in English and Claudette does not take international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options using the platform's tools. To get started, use the See online therapy options button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How CBT and DBT shape online sessions

Claudette works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting small experiments to try between meetings and tracking how thinking patterns affect mood and actions.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT sessions typically teach specific coping skills that clients can practice in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudette collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and provide quicker check-ins on skill practice. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins, which can help when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals like Claudette aim to make sessions practical and oriented toward everyday functioning.
