About
Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist and life coach based in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, body image and weight-loss issues, relationship and family conflicts, grief, eating disorders, career difficulties, stress and anxiety, anger management, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, as well as broader questions about life purpose.
Claire has experience supporting people who are recovering from mass traumas, such as school shootings. She has presented at international conferences and authored 29 continuing education courses for other psychotherapists, with a professional focus on improving psychotherapy practice and developing new, practical methods clinicians can use to help clients.
Her therapeutic stance is rooted in an existential orientation that seeks to help people identify what is most important to them and move in that direction. Claire emphasizes empowering clients, treating them with respect, and honoring their life choices. She believes that the core elements of better mental health and greater satisfaction already exist within each person, and that together with a client she can help uncover pathways to a more fulfilling and meaningful life regardless of past experiences.
Outside of her clinical work, Claire enjoys ultrarunning, training her three rescue horses through the levels of dressage, and completing a long overdue manuscript.
She is licensed to practice as a marriage and family therapist in both California and Colorado.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience have shown that these types of issues often respond well to remote treatment when delivered by a qualified professional.
One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to access services from a distance.
Every therapist involved is a licensed professional, and clients may change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, the combination of professional training, accessible communication options, and scheduling flexibility makes online therapy a practical and effective route to support.
