About Claudette

Claudette Clay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and depression, including social anxiety and phobia.

Claudette focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what is most troubling and helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions often center on learning skills to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.

Her work uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice skills for managing emotions and handling difficult situations.

She also addresses common life stresses such as communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and workplace problems. The focus is on practical strategies clients can use between sessions.

Claudette aims to adapt sessions to the person in front of her. She talks through goals, offers straightforward tools, and checks progress as work continues. People who prefer clear steps and skill practice may find this style useful.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered from Texas. International clients are not accepted. Before booking, confirm the current session options and any details about scheduling.

How CBT and DBT inform online sessions

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions that can mean working on specific skills and homework between meetings, such as tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can be practiced and reviewed with the therapist during video or phone check-ins.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback indicate what helps best.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into the conversation.
