Clare Sartori

Clare Sartori is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation. Clare speaks plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for anyone taking that first step.

Clare has 15 years of professional experience in clinical work in Rhode Island. She approaches sessions by treating each person as the expert in their own story. That means she asks questions, listens for strengths, and helps people build on what already works for them.

In session Clare focuses on real-world coping skills. She helps people identify small changes that reduce anxiety and make grief easier to carry day to day. She also supports clients who are wrestling with life purpose, self-love, social anxiety, or trouble connecting with others.

Clare works to create a steady, straightforward process. She will help you set short-term goals and check progress together. The aim is to leave each meeting with something practical to try between sessions.

If you are unsure where to begin, Clare encourages taking the simple next step of reaching out. She recognizes how hard it can feel to ask for help and treats that step as an important part of the work.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach involves teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing strategies, activity planning, and stepwise exposure to feared situations; these tools help reduce reactivity and build confidence in daily life. Another approach centers on grief and loss, offering ways to name emotions, honor what was lost, and create routines that hold difficult feelings without becoming overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods over time. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or let someone start conversations from a comfortable room. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or audio-only meetings when camera time is not ideal. Clare aims to help people find a rhythm that fits their life and goals.
