Claire Nana, LMFT

Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She brings 15 years of clinical practice to sessions and helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and struggles with self-esteem. Claire also supports clients working through relationship strain, grief, career questions, and life changes.

Claire uses a direct, human style in sessions. She listens closely and helps people notice thought patterns and everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better. Her aim is to help clients find practical next steps they can use between sessions.

Her approach draws on client-centered work that centers the person's experience, psychodynamic ideas that look at repeated patterns, and trauma-focused methods when past events are still affecting daily life. She also brings existential perspectives that focus on values and meaning to help people clarify what matters most.

Claire has experience across a wide range of concerns including ADHD, eating and body image issues, addiction, PTSD, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress. She has presented at international conferences and written continuing education courses for other therapists.

Outside of clinical work, Claire spends time ultrarunning and training rescue horses in dressage. That practical, active life informs her belief that small changes in daily habits and thinking can add up to real improvements in well-being.

How Claire’s Approaches Work Online

Claire uses client-centered work to focus on each person's experience and preferences, helping sessions stay grounded in what matters most to the client. This approach is useful for building trust and for exploring current thoughts and daily habits that affect well-being.

She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life. Those methods look at how trauma shows up now and support steps to reduce its impact on everyday thinking, behavior, and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with clients to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, history, and what feels most helpful. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins between longer appointments. Some formats also let people choose audio-only conversations when less bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work in remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
