About Clarinda
Clarinda Squires is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She brings nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and major life changes. Clarinda aims to offer straightforward support and practical skills rather than quick fixes.
Her career includes work in community mental health, crisis response, clinical assessment, and independent practice. That variety shaped a flexible approach that fits busy lives and complicated feelings.
Background and approach
Many clients she sees are high-functioning but overwhelmed by work, caregiving, or personal expectations. Clarinda’s style is warm and honest. She asks direct questions, listens closely, and encourages clients to slow down and name what’s happening.
Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication, and building day-to-day coping skills. She uses practical techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral ideas, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based work. Those tools are used to teach emotion regulation, problem-solving, and clearer communication.
Plans are tailored to each person rather than copied from a template. Clarinda supports people working through commitment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and women’s issues. Her goal is to help clients gain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and feel more confident managing life’s challenges.
How Clarinda’s Approaches Work Online
Clarinda uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions to help clients name problems and try different ways of coping. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or break stuck patterns. Trauma-informed care helps people recognize how past hurts affect current reactions and learn regulation skills to feel steadier in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences together and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most in regular sessions.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational session and nonverbal cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share short updates, ask quick questions, or have brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
