About Claire
Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado who helps people navigate addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial issues. She brings a calm, practical approach to difficult moments and focuses on helping people find workable steps forward. Her style aims to empower people to make choices that match their values and goals.
With 15 years as an LMFT she blends direct conversation with gentle inquiry. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and practical changes that reduce daily stress. She pays attention to how life events, identity, and culture shape what feels possible for each person.
Claire uses several established therapy approaches to tailor care to each person. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s lead, psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated life patterns, and trauma-focused methods when past harm needs focused attention. These ways of working are used to address concerns like grief, eating and body image, addiction, and career uncertainty.
She has experience presenting at international conferences and developing continuing education materials for other clinicians. That background informs a thoughtful, evidence-aware practice without losing sight of everyday needs.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys ultrarunning and working with her rescued horses in dressage, hobbies that reflect persistence and steady progress. Claire invites people to start where they are and take manageable steps toward clearer priorities and better daily functioning.
How Claire’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects back concerns, priorities, and goals to help people feel heard and to guide practical choices. This approach helps when someone needs a space to clarify values or decide on next steps.Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns tied to past relationships and events. It helps people see how those patterns affect current behavior, which can be useful for issues like attachment, relationship problems, and recurring stress responses. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past harm in ways that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning when trauma is a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means discussing what feels most helpful and adjusting the plan as progress and priorities become clearer.
