About Clarinda
Clarinda Squires is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and life changes.
She has worked in clinical assessments, community mental health, crisis settings, and private practice. That range means she is familiar with fast-moving situations and longer-term concerns. Many people she sees are managing careers and family responsibilities while feeling emotionally exhausted beneath the surface.
Clarinda often supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, communication problems, and grief. She also helps with the lasting effects of difficult experiences and patterns that keep repeating. Her work includes practical tools for handling emotions and improving how people talk about hard things.
Her style is direct and grounded. Sessions include thoughtful questions and specific steps to slow down and recognize what is happening internally. The focus is on breaking unhelpful habits and building more effective ways of coping and communicating.
She draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, strengths-based work, motivational interviewing, and emotional regulation and communication tools. Together with each person she creates a plan tied to daily life rather than a generic template. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and better ways to manage relationship and parenting pressures.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Clarinda uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. That approach often focuses on small, practical steps that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.She also draws on trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past distress affects current reactions and relationships. This helps when someone is coping with the long-term impact of difficult events and wants steadier emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences to choose techniques that fit your situation. That collaboration helps shape a plan focused on improvements you can use in daily life.
