About Claire
Claire Nana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, relationship strain, career concerns, eating and body image issues, and life changes.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Claire draws from existential ideas to help people clarify what matters to them. She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic approaches, and trauma-focused work when needed.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and practical steps to get there. Claire has a background presenting at international conferences and developing continuing education courses for other psychotherapists. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and explains complex ideas in plain language.
She combines clinical experience with long-term interests in coaching and life purpose work. In sessions she listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people notice patterns that may be holding them back. Therapy may include talking through past experiences, examining current relationships, and creating achievable goals for day-to-day life.
People often leave with clearer priorities and small, realistic actions to try between sessions. Outside work she enjoys endurance running and time with her rescue horses. That personal side informs a practical, active approach to recovery and growth.

Approaches Claire names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.
Online support
Bringing existential and trauma-informed work online
Claire uses Existential Therapy to help people name what matters most in their lives and make choices that reflect those values. This approach is helpful for those searching for purpose after loss, during career shifts, or when facing big life transitions.She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and supporting each person where they are. This helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through feelings and build confidence. When trauma is part of the story, she incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to address how past events continue to affect daily life and behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal feedback. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent check-ins and shorter reflections between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into varied routines and needs.
