About Clara
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of experience. Clara D'agostino helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem problems, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and issues affecting women. Clara works in English and accepts only clients located in California.
Clara uses practical tools in sessions. She draws on client-centered listening to clarify what matters to each person. She uses mindfulness practices to help with grounding and to reduce anxious reactivity. She also applies solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.
Sessions can include expressive arts and EMDR resourcing techniques intended to increase a sense of safety and grounding. These methods are used alongside conversational work to help people feel more stable and able to act on goals. The emphasis is on brief, doable steps that connect to everyday life.
Clara’s style is straightforward and focused on what will change day-to-day experience. She helps people identify small, measurable shifts and builds on them over time. Conversations often move from noticing patterns to trying a specific skill or exercise and then reviewing what changed.
To begin, prospective clients use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session. Clara practices in California as an LCSW and works with adults who are seeking help with the areas listed above.

How attachment, mindfulness, and solution-focused work translate online
Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior. Online sessions use conversation to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating to others or to oneself. This can help when relationship patterns increase anxiety or make communication harder.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase grounding. These practices are short exercises that people can use between sessions to manage stress and anxiety. They are often demonstrated and then reviewed together in later meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward concrete goals. Sessions identify what a useful next step looks like and track progress. This method suits people who want practical changes on a manageable timeline.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That plan can change based on what works in early sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice mindfulness or grounding exercises in the moment and then bring observations back to the next meeting.
