Clea Weiss , LCSW

Clea Weiss brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work supporting adults, individuals, and couples as they face stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. She approaches therapy with an emphasis on practical change and emotional growth, helping people sort through parenting concerns, career stress, self-esteem struggles, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and the complexities of blended families and divorce. Her practice also addresses communication problems, codependency, infidelity, social anxiety, and issues common to young adults and women.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - she combines training in evidence-based and experiential methods to tailor treatment to each person's needs. She is certified in expressive therapy, which means she can incorporate art and creative assignments when that approach supports a client's progress. In session she partners with clients to set clear goals and to develop coping strategies that fit their daily lives, whether the focus is on short-term problem solving or deeper emotional work.

Located in New Jersey, she has maintained a private psychotherapy practice for many years and draws on a range of clinical approaches to help clients move toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client guides the pace and topics of change. This approach helps people who want support exploring values, improving self-understanding, and making decisions that fit their life circumstances.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and problem-solving around day-to-day challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses, especially within relationships. It can be useful for couples and individuals working on attachment, communication, and deeper emotional repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. A licensed professional will collaborate with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow work to continue from different locations, and make it easier to integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while staying connected with a therapist.
