Claudette Clay, LPC

Claudette Clay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. Claudette aims to meet people where they are and offer practical, straightforward support.

She uses clear conversation and goal‑focused work to address immediate problems. That can look like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotion regulation skills, or practicing new ways to communicate. She adjusts the pace and plan to fit each person’s needs.

Claudette also helps with issues that often come with relationship strain, such as communication problems, jealousy, divorce and separation, and workplace stress. She has worked with people affected by post‑traumatic stress and veteran and armed forces issues. Clients may also bring concerns like social anxiety, isolation, guilt, or low self‑esteem.

Her approach emphasizes respect and sensitivity. She encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and healthier reactions. Sessions combine practical strategies with space to process strong feelings.

Claudette invites people to explore what changes would feel most meaningful to them. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. To start, people typically answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How CBT and DBT guide online sessions

Claudette commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life, which helps reduce anxiety, low mood, and problematic behavior. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can be useful for managing anger, strong emotions, and relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try approaches that match those needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check‑in meetings when needed or sessions that work around work and family commitments. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
