About Clare
Clare Sartori is a Rhode Island licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and big life changes, and addresses concerns such as communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Clare asks clients to notice their own strengths and to use those strengths when facing difficult situations. Sessions are designed to be practical and straightforward, focusing on what the client wants to change. Clare encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels doable rather than overwhelming.
Her work often includes talking through how stress and anxiety show up day to day, and finding concrete ways to reduce their impact. For grief and loss, Clare helps people name what they’ve lost and find ways to carry difficult feelings without being consumed by them. When life changes make routines feel shaky, she helps people build new routines and priorities that fit their current situation.
Clare also supports people who struggle in social situations, like meeting new people or speaking up. She offers strategies to face specific situations and to practice skills that can make those moments clearer and less daunting.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Clare uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; exact costs vary with location.
How therapeutic approaches and online work fit together
Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and step-by-step change. One common approach she applies involves behavioral experiments and exposure-style practices to help people reduce avoidance and face feared social situations in small steps. This method helps make specific social moments easier to manage by breaking them into doable tasks.Another common strand is grief-focused support that helps name what has been lost and identify daily habits that can carry difficult feelings. This approach blends talking through experiences with planning small changes to routine and self-care that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of forward movement.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Clare works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy day, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce travel time and let people practice skills in familiar surroundings while talking them through with a therapist.
