Calm support for stress, grief, and life change

About Clare

Clare Sartori welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She writes simply and directly to steady a first step.

Background and approach

Clare is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Rhode Island with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people sort through how loss, anxiety, and life shifts show up day to day.

Clare listens for practical patterns and works with clients to try small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between appointments.

Clare emphasizes each person's own strengths and knowledge about their life. She views clients as the expert on their story and supports them in using strengths to meet challenges.

This approach helps people feel more in charge of next steps instead of stuck. Her work often addresses communication struggles and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

She also supports people looking for more self-love, clearer life purpose, or relief from social anxiety and phobia. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs.

Clare encourages realistic plans for coping and recovery rather than quick fixes. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process straightforward.

The focus is on steady progress and practical tools you can use after sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical changes and coping strategies. One approach centers on helping people manage anxiety through step-by-step coping tools and behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. This method helps reduce avoidance and build confidence in everyday situations.

Another common emphasis is grief and loss work that helps people organize memories, name emotions, and create small routines for getting through difficult days. These sessions offer ways to remember what matters and to find manageable ways forward after loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy with Clare is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick coping tips, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other obligations and to keep momentum between appointments.
