About Clarita
Clarita Requena-Layton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska with seven years of experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English. Clarita frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on personal strengths.
She helps people talk through addiction struggles and the ripple effects those have on daily life. She addresses relationship problems and communication difficulties in straightforward terms. She also supports people processing trauma, grief from separation, and symptoms linked to post-traumatic stress.
Clarita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical conversation to identify patterns that get in the way. She works with issues such as abandonment, control problems, impulsivity, and feelings of shame or guilt. She also focuses on social anxiety, isolation, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.
In sessions Clarita breaks concerns into manageable steps. She helps people notice what they already do well and then practices alternative responses to old patterns. Appointments emphasize clear goals, small experiments between sessions, and direct discussion of what is working.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted, so bookings are for those within the therapist's supported region.

Therapeutic approaches used and what online sessions involve
Clarita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable change and practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective alternatives; this can reduce depression symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets reactions to trauma by teaching grounding skills, emotion regulation, and ways to revisit distressing memories at a manageable pace to lessen their everyday impact. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clarita will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about progress and adjusts methods when something isn’t helping. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people pursue therapy online because it can fit work and family schedules better, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain consistency during life changes and to use skills learned in session in real time later the same day.Sheet 3
