About Claire

Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of professional experience supporting people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of clinical interests including body image and eating concerns, compassion fatigue, career and financial issues, and recovery from substance-related problems. Her work also addresses attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, obsessive and compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural or discrimination-related challenges.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect, helping clients locate their own strengths and values to guide change. Claire integrates psychodynamic ideas about patterns and history with existential questions about meaning and choice, and she uses trauma-focused methods when processing difficult memories or reactions.

Licensed in California and Colorado, she combines clinical knowledge with a coaching orientation to support practical steps toward goals and daily coping. Outside of clinical work Claire pursues endurance sports and equestrian interests, which inform her appreciation for discipline, patience, and steady progress.

She welcomes those seeking a thoughtful, values-oriented approach to healing and life direction.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client's priorities guide each session; online this means the therapist follows the client's lead to explore immediate concerns, build strengths, and set practical goals. Existential therapy helps people examine values, purpose, and choice, offering tools to clarify what matters most and to make intentional life changes even when circumstances feel restricting.

Finding the right approach often unfolds through collaboration. The therapist will work with each client to assess their situation, try different techniques when appropriate, and tailor the mix of client-centered, existential, or trauma-focused interventions to fit individual needs and preferences. This collaborative process aims to identify methods that feel useful and realistic for the client's goals.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and can make consistent care easier to maintain alongside work, family, or travel. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skill-building, and processing in ways that fit a client's daily life while preserving continuity of care.
