Chris Freeman-ClarkLISW

Chris Freeman-Clark is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio. He focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or anger. He also supports those navigating relationship and parenting concerns and people struggling with hoarding or family problems.

With 21 years of experience, Chris aims for straightforward, respectful care. Sessions tend to center on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there. He approaches conversations with sensitivity and a nonjudgmental tone so people feel heard and understood.

Chris draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead and build on their strengths. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs a clearer plan to move forward.

He has worked with adult survivors of dysfunctional family patterns and with people who want help reducing clutter or hoarding behaviors. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions. Work may include problem solving, goal setting, and learning new ways to cope.

Sessions aim to empower people to make changes that fit their life. Chris emphasizes respect and collaboration rather than quick fixes. Readers are encouraged to choose what feels most useful and to ask questions about how a first session will go.

How these approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and building on their strengths. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping someone set their own goals, which can work well when checking progress between appointments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tries concrete changes that can shift mood and reduce anxiety. It is useful for stress, depression, anxiety, and for tackling patterns that keep problems going.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people move from uncertainty to action. It can be especially helpful when someone wants change but feels stuck or unmotivated.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can adapt over time as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions a practical way to keep momentum between life commitments.
