About Clarinda
Clarinda Squires is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia with nine years of experience. She helps people who are juggling work, relationships, and family responsibilities while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck.
She has a background in clinical assessments, community mental health, crisis work, and private practice. That range means she is used to sudden changes and ongoing stressors alike. Her caseload has included people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, communication problems, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse.
Clarinda works in a direct, straightforward way. Sessions include asking clear questions, slowing down to notice patterns, and practicing new skills. She focuses on practical changes people can use in daily life rather than only talking about feelings.
Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, trauma-informed principles, strengths-based work, motivational interviewing, and concrete tools for emotional regulation and communication. Together with a client she defines small, achievable steps and checks progress along the way.
She also supports parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and issues around commitment, forgiveness, and life purpose. Clients can expect focused work on communication, coping strategies, and rebuilding confidence in how they manage emotions and relationships.
BHow sessions work
How Clarinda applies therapeutic methods online
Clarinda uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and repetitive negative thinking patterns.She also applies trauma-informed principles, which focus on recognizing how past difficult experiences affect current reactions and safety in the therapeutic relationship. That work often involves pacing, grounding techniques, and building emotional regulation skills.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and progress. The first sessions often include assessment and a short plan so clients know what to expect in practical terms.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer hours spent traveling. If you are considering remote work with her, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make regular check-ins and skill practice easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
