Getting to know Claire Mcguire

Hi there, I'm Claire! I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I became involved in counseling when someone close to me suffered from chronic PTSD. I witnessed firsthand what depression and anxiety can do. My approach Counselling for me is a way to help people reconnect to who they are, encourage self-compassion because only you know what you have survived, and I encourage respect for who you are. My focus It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, and change is hard, but incredibly rewarding. I have worked with clients who have suffered from depression, anxiety, anger management, abandonment issues, trust issues, ADHD, trauma, bullying, and prejudice. My communication style Communication is essential in therapy, and in an effort to create an empathetic relationship, I utilize techniques like active listening, empathy, and open-ended questions to help the client express themselves. My journey to mental healthcare I became involved in counseling when someone close to me suffered from chronic PTSD. I witnessed firsthand what depression and anxiety can do. My husband was a Vietnam veteran, and I watched a therapist help him visualize those moments he was unable to talk about. That minute, I realized I wanted to be her and help people unable to verbalize pain My goals for you Client is instrumental in identifying where they want to be in their lives, identifying the issues that hold them back, such as anxiety and depression, and together we set goals and, with the use of coping skills, overcome issues they perceive as obstacles. My first session with you I want the individual to know they are safe. I ask questions about their history in an effort to understand how they see the world. I discuss how I work, with their input, discuss what they want to work on, and explain that I give homework. If we do not connect, I suggest they find someone they would be more comfortable with.
