About Myung
LCSW in California with 20 years of experience, Myung "Claire" Hwang focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She uses a client-centered approach and works with people who want practical, respectful support for life's difficulties.
Claire centers sessions on the client's perspective. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to what the client needs in the moment.
She has long experience helping people cope with major life changes and career-related stress. Claire also supports those carrying compassion fatigue or struggling with motivation and confidence. Her background includes addressing isolation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
In practice she listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Clients can expect straightforward talk about current problems and small steps to try between sessions. Forgiveness and women’s issues are additional focus areas she brings into the work when relevant.
Claire offers sessions in English and Korean. She is licensed as an LCSW in California. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss which concerns to prioritize.

Client-centered care and what online sessions involve
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience. The therapist listens without directing the story and helps the client name goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, and processing difficult events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which ways of working to use. That collaborative process helps shape session length, focus, and homework between visits.
This therapist's session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting a person choose between video or audio based on what works that day. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and activities to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused.
