Clare O'Toole, LMFT

Clare O'Toole earned a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling and has continued advanced training in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, mindfulness practices, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). She also integrates well-established therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into a flexible, client-centered practice. Clare holds an LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, reflecting formal training in working with relationships and family dynamics.

Her work is rooted in the idea that healing grows from connection - both toward others and toward the self. When working with adults, Clare adopts a collaborative and nonjudgmental stance, attuned to each person’s unique history and needs. She blends evidence-based approaches with present-moment mindfulness and trauma-informed sensitivity to support lasting change.

Clare commonly supports people who feel stuck in repetitive patterns, overwhelmed by stress, or uncertain about next steps. She offers a paced space for reflection, helping individuals develop practical skills, clarify values, and identify new ways forward. Known for bringing warmth, presence, and genuine care to her work, Clare aims to help clients feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in their lives.
