Teletherapy for Maryland

Counseling and therapy services should be approached as a collaborative effort between the counselor and client with the purpose of establishing and achieving goals mutually agreed upon. The goal is seeking to help the client address, resolve, and cope with issues that are affecting their wellness and ability to thrive in life. I work with clients who are experiencing life stressors that are causing distress in their lives that require therapeutic interventions and specified therapy approaches.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families dealing with relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and loss, blended family issues, divorce and reconciliation, work related stress, trauma, and mood disorders. I use various exercises and techniques to connect with my clients and make them feel comfortable within the therapeutic process. I am particularly skilled in engaging my clients during the initial contact and sessions because I believe that the foundation of any successful therapeutic process develops from the beginning stages.

I have worked with a broad range of human concerns. I believe that my neutrality and Bowen family systems perspective can be of considerable use for those who are interested in changing themselves in relationship to important others.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with worries, sadness, relationship difficulties, or feel "stuck" in some way. My primary focus areas are anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma, using a combination of cognitive behavioral and integrative practices. I draw from modalities such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing. This integrative approach to mental health allows me to tailor the experience to your unique needs.

There are often many challenges we face as we embark on various journeys through life.

If you're here reading this, it means that you are probably experiencing something similar in your current journey. We can work together to find and create the change you want and need at this moment in your life.

Breathe . . . . Life is so stressful. So many meetings, demands, interruptions, and lack of motivation make you irritable, edgy and exhausted. Your patience is long gone.

Are you and/or your child open to the challenging and vulnerable, but beautiful journey that is exploring/bettering overall mental health? If so, you've come to the -not-so- perfect place! I most enjoy working with clients who can appreciate humor and straight-forwardness, as I often approach the therapeutic relationship with authenticity and acceptance as well as the mindset of embracing imperfection. I specialize in individual and family therapy focusing on ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress/trauma for individuals under the age of 30 :)

Hello, I am J. Claire Abernathy. I have focused on supporting people dealing with a wide range of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression , family relationships, grief and loss, trauma, and adjustment.

You are not defined by your story! If you're feeling alone, unnoticed, or invisible, believing that there's something wrong with you, that you're not good enough - I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space where you can be truly seen and heard. My goal is to help you process the events, emotions, and family of origin issues that have brought you to this point, to develop insight, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of self. As a trauma-focused therapist, I offer virtual sessions for clients in NJ, NY, and MD, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve freedom, healing, and self-compassion through our work together.

Are you feeling isolated while experiencing a major life change? Are you looking for a safe space to share and grow? Would you like to address the issues of your past, abandonment, toxic relationships, grief/loss or workplace stress? Do you need practical skills managing depression and anxiety? Need help with communication in your relationship? Congratulations, you’re looking in the right place! You decided to take the initial step on your quest of healing and self-discovery. It takes courage to put yourself and your well-being first and I applaud you! Allow me to join you on the journey to prioritize your mental health.

I have a passion for walking people through the therapeutic process, for healing old wounds, solving problems and seeing profound changes in my clients' lives. All of my clients are my ideal clients. I love the psychotherapy process, both personally and professionally. In my opinion psychotherapy is both a necessity and a luxury in staying sane. Taking the time to care about yourself and/or your family, children or loved ones, focusing on what is hurting and not working well and trusting me to offer perspectives, insights, connections, ideas, advice, and understanding can turn most challenging situations around.

Currently accepting clients for ONLINE sessions only. We all need someone to assist us as we navigate through life. Sometimes our family and friends are not enough when we are stuck or faced with a challenge or crisis. I offer you a neutral, objective and empathetic space. I believe in asking the right questions and guiding you into rediscovering your "inner expert" and becoming the best you, in your own way, style and time.

My qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and a credential as a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I have over 20 years experience working in the substance abuse/addiction and mental health field. My therapeutic approach is integrative and individualized to meet the needs and goals of my clients. I believe that in order to effectively treat a client, you have to use techniques that would be specific and tailored to the individual I am helping. This will help you to successfully manage emotions and circumstances that feel overwhelming.
