About Clea
Clea Weiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and career questions. Her work also addresses bipolar disorder, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She offers practical, straightforward help for people sorting through relationship problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication difficulties. She also addresses codependency, infidelity, social anxiety, women's issues, and concerns common to young adults. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what steps feel doable next.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine listening with clear, goal-oriented work and attention to emotional patterns that repeat in relationships.
Clea typically works with adults, including individuals and couples, and uses conversation plus practical assignments to track progress. She frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than abstract theory. Practical life demands like work, parenting, and money are part of the plan.
People who choose her can expect steady, experience-based guidance and concrete steps they can use between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals and plan the next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative space where clients lead the discussion. It helps when someone needs a judgment-free place to talk through stress, relationship questions, or parenting strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood, which can be helpful for depression, social anxiety, and everyday stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in relationships and helps clarify patterns that create conflict or distance. It is useful for couples work and for individuals who want to understand recurring relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family commitments, reduce commute time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists often use video when possible and may adapt exercises so they work over a distance.
