She works with individuals who are facing relationship challenges, feelings of emptiness, or life changes that feel overwhelming.

She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on attachment and relationship concerns. Client-centered methods shape how sessions feel - warm, listening, and focused on the client's goals.

Approaches that guide online work

Clairice often draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping people set their own goals, which can ease the effort of sharing difficult things in a remote session. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, offering clear exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify core emotions and improve how they respond in close relationships, which is helpful for relationship strain and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Often techniques are blended so the work stays practical and grounded in what the person wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect on their words between replies. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing life demands.
