About Claire

Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, stress, and ADHD-related struggles. Claire also supports those dealing with relationship strain, career questions, and life changes.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past and on existential ideas to help people clarify what matters to them.

Background and approach

Claire has practiced for 15 years as an LMFT. That background includes work with trauma, eating and body-image concerns, and compassion fatigue. She has experience writing continuing education materials and presenting to professional audiences.

In therapy she aims to help people spot recurring patterns, name their priorities, and make choices that fit their values. She often combines trauma-focused techniques when past events keep affecting day-to-day life. Sessions can include coaching-style guidance for concrete goals like managing stress or organizing daily routines.

Outside of work she enjoys endurance running and riding rescue horses. Her approach is rooted in respect for each person's experience and a belief that people carry the resources they need to move toward more meaningful lives.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets the pace and topics. This approach helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and making decisions that feel true to the person.

Existential therapy helps people clarify values and purpose when they feel stuck or unsure about what matters. It is useful for navigating career questions, life transitions, and questions about meaning after loss or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single model. That means checking in about what helps most and adjusting the plan over time.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are close to an in-person session and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or tracking progress between sessions. These options add flexibility for people managing hectic schedules or long distances.
