About Ferris
Ferris Clare is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression, and lists life purpose among her additional focus areas. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Clare has worked in private practice and social services and has run professional development workshops. She often supports people through life transitions and identity development, and she brings both professional experience and personal perspective into sessions. Her background shapes how she listens and what she notices in conversations.
Her approach combines faith-informed perspectives with practical techniques. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people reframe thinking, and trauma-aware methods to address wounds from the past. Clare also integrates spiritual principles when clients want that element included.
In practical terms she focuses on skills people can use outside sessions. That includes setting boundaries, clearer communication, and self-reflection exercises aimed at improving self-esteem and social confidence. She names control issues, communication problems, and self-love as topics she often addresses.
People who meet with her can expect direct conversations and step-by-step strategies. She emphasizes identifying values and priorities when someone is unsure what comes next after a change in work, relationships, or health. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Her practice draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and trauma-informed care. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve decision-making. Trauma-informed care pays attention to past hurt and aims to reduce reactivity while building coping skills for relationship and family concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust techniques as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.
The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make regular meetings easier after big life changes. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help maintain continuity during life transitions and make it easier to bring real-life situations into conversation for immediate problem solving.
