About Claudette

Claudette Clay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, clear conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aiming to make beginning therapy feel less overwhelming.

Claudette adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She helps people who are facing communication problems, jealousy, isolation, or workplace stress. She also supports those navigating divorce and separation and related feelings like guilt and shame.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and build skills for managing intense emotions and improving daily routines. Sessions include concrete tools and chances to practice new ways of coping.

Claudette also has experience addressing veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to how life events affect daily functioning and relationships and helps people make gradual, manageable changes.

People who meet with her can expect a collaborative approach. She listens first, then offers steps that match a person’s goals and comfort level. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How Claudette Uses CBT and DBT Online

Claudette uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. CBT often involves setting small experiments, practicing new behaviors, and tracking what changes over time. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT skills can help when emotions feel intense or when patterns keep causing problems in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist listens to your goals and daily challenges and suggests tools that fit your needs and preferences. Together you try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Practical benefits of online work make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are listed when you arrange care. Online sessions can reduce travel time, make it simpler to keep regular appointments, and allow for short check-ins when a brief update is useful. These features can help therapy become part of everyday routines without promising any particular outcome.
