About Clara
LCSW-R in New York with 17 years of clinical experience, Clara Rodis helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. She also focuses on mood disorders and panic attacks. Clara speaks English and Spanish and practices using approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Clara describes her style as interactive. Sessions involve active conversation and practical strategies. She avoids labeling and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. She adapts the focus of sessions to what the individual brings in that day.
In practice she uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build different ways of responding. She uses DBT skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those tools fit the presenting concerns. Therapy mixes skill-building with discussion of personal history when that helps clarify patterns.
Clara has worked with people facing substance use and trauma-related problems, and with those experiencing intense anxiety or panic. Her experience includes supporting people through grief and problems that affect self-worth. The work is goal-oriented and often includes homework between sessions to practice skills.
She asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches shape online work
Clara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and some stress-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. DBT skills can help when intense feelings or frequent conflict get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they check whether skill-building, history-focused work, or a mix of both seems most helpful and adjust the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If a person prefers skill practice between meetings, Clara can assign exercises and review progress in subsequent sessions.
