Clair Figueroa , LCSW

Clair Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with ten years of professional experience. She supports people navigating stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBTQ issues and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses body image, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.

Clair is certified in EMDR and CPT, and she integrates established therapeutic tools to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical strategies for building confidence and motivation while exploring the root causes of longstanding patterns and painful experiences.

In session she aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors the step of reaching out for support. Clair collaborates with each person to set goals and choose approaches that fit their circumstances and priorities, helping them move toward clearer perspective and greater emotional balance.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Clair Figueroa is certified in EMDR, a therapy that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the ongoing emotional impact of traumatic events. EMDR uses structured attention and memory processing to support shifts in how painful experiences are stored and experienced.

She is also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, or CPT, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful beliefs that develop after traumatic or painful experiences. CPT helps people examine thinking patterns and develop more balanced ways of understanding themselves and their experiences.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Clair works with each person to assess symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and together they determine which methods are likely to be the best fit. She adapts the plan over time based on how the work progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication. These formats allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to use the mode of interaction that feels most comfortable and useful for their needs.
