Clarinda Squires

Clarinda Squires, LCSW, CSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia who supports individuals, couples, and families as they work through stress, trauma, conflict, and major life transitions. Her experience includes clinical assessments, community mental health, crisis work, and private practice, giving her a broad perspective on the emotional patterns and pressures that many people carry quietly.

She often works with people who appear to be doing well on the outside but feel overwhelmed underneath - juggling work, family responsibilities, relationships, or personal expectations while feeling anxious, stuck, or emotionally drained. Clarinda commonly helps clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship concerns, communication difficulties, and the lasting effects of traumatic or painful experiences.

Her style is warm, honest, and grounded. Rather than simply listening without direction, she offers genuine support, thoughtful questions, and a space where clients can stop performing and start getting real about what they are carrying. Clarinda helps clients slow down, make sense of what is happening internally, interrupt unhelpful cycles, and strengthen coping and communication skills in ways that feel practical for everyday life.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, strengths-based work, motivational interviewing, and concrete tools for emotional regulation and communication. Treatment is tailored collaboratively, with a focus on steps that fit the person in front of her and support meaningful day-to-day change.

Clarinda recognizes the courage it takes to reach out, and she aims to meet clients with compassion while also offering the kind of gentle challenge that supports clarity, balance, and forward movement.
