About Clara
Clara D'agostino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 20 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem. She also pays attention to communication problems, forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, and women's issues.
Clara uses short-term, goal-focused methods alongside mindfulness and expressive exercises. Sessions tend to focus on identifying immediate coping steps and improving daily functioning. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns in relationships and develop clearer ways to communicate.
Her work draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current behavior. She pairs that with client-centered listening so people can set their own priorities in sessions. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Clara also applies solution-focused methods to break problems into small, manageable steps. That approach aims to create practical changes that can be tried between sessions. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that combines insight with concrete practice.
She practices in California as an LCSW and runs sessions in English. Prospective clients who live outside California should confirm regional eligibility before proceeding. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

This perspective can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues, and understanding repeated interpersonal conflicts.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and preferences. That means the therapist listens closely and helps people set the agenda for sessions, which works well for stress, life changes, and self-esteem concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will discuss the methods that fit a person’s goals and try different ways of working as needed. The plan is decided together based on the client’s needs and what feels useful in practice.
