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, and parenting challenges. Her approach is direct and warm, geared toward practical change rather than passive listening.
Her work history includes clinical assessments, community mental health, crisis work, and independent practice. That range gives her experience with people facing sudden changes, lingering trauma, or complicated emotional patterns.
Background and approach
She often meets clients who seem to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside. Sessions focus on clear, usable skills. She helps people slow down, spot repeating patterns, and try different ways of coping and communicating.
Treatment is collaborative - plans are shaped around real life responsibilities like work and family rather than one-size-fits-all steps. Clarinda uses evidence-based techniques and practical tools to address anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, and the fallout from past trauma. She also supports work on commitment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and women's issues.
Her style is honest and grounded. Clients can expect thoughtful questions, steady feedback, and concrete strategies to test between sessions. The goal is to help people regain balance and move forward with clearer priorities and stronger coping skills.
What Clarinda works with
Everything Clarinda lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Clarinda helps people with.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Clarinda draws on evidence-based techniques to make therapy practical and useful. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; this can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns. Trauma-informed care pays attention to how past harms shape current reactions and uses gentle pacing and grounding tools to manage overwhelming feelings.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to choose and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a fixed script.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines and comfort levels. Video lets people read facial cues and practice conversations; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in; chat and messaging offer shorter, flexible exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
