More about Clayton
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LICSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama with 5 years of professional work experience. My work experience is primarily with individuals facing substance abuse and addiction-related issues. I have worked in multiple levels of care, including inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, and outpatient therapy.
The longer I have been a therapist, the more my interest has expanded to relationship issues, both past and ongoing, as well as developing a stronger sense of self in a loud world. I believe that making the choice to seek out therapy is a big step, and every individual does it differently and with different goals. I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, and more long-term psychodynamic approaches. I will work with you to determine which approach will be most effective and communicate with you about what that looks like at every step of the process so that you feel seen, heard, and respected.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
