About Claire
Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado who helps people with anger, addiction, trauma, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to short-term coaching and longer-term counseling. Claire focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress, navigate life changes, and rebuild a sense of purpose.
Her style is conversational and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people name what matters and set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions combine looking at current problems and understanding how past patterns keep repeating. Claire draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead and build trust. She uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated relationship patterns and existential thinking to clarify values and purpose.
Trauma-focused methods are included when past wounds are keeping someone stuck. In sessions she offers concrete tools for coping with anger and cravings, strategies for improving mood and sleep, and steps to repair difficult relationships. She also helps people facing grief, career shifts, or stress from prejudice and discrimination.
Claire has written continuing education material and presented at conferences to support other clinicians. Outside of work she enjoys ultrarunning and riding her rescue horses. People choose her for a direct, respectful approach that balances practical coping skills with exploring deeper life questions.

Approach and online options for working through anger and trauma
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions follow the client’s concerns and pace, helping build trust and clearer goals. This approach is helpful for people feeling overwhelmed by anger or struggling to speak up about hard experiences.Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns from the past that show up now. It helps people notice how early relationships and coping habits influence current reactions and relationships, which can be useful for addressing long-standing anger or attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as emotions settle and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or shorter conversations during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while working toward clearer coping skills and emotional balance.
