Clairice Brown Allen, LPC

Clairice Brown Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients navigating LGBT issues and related life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Clairice frames therapy around each person's strengths and experience. She treats the person as the expert on their life and works together with them to set concrete goals. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on skills people can apply to daily situations.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses client-centered techniques to make space for a person's perspective and feelings. Emotionally-focused methods are applied when relationship or attachment patterns are the focus.

Clairice has two decades of professional experience as an LPC. That background includes helping people with communication problems, commitment and infidelity concerns, blended family issues, and the strain that follows divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Practical matters are part of her work. She helps people develop coping strategies after disasters, supports first responder issues, and addresses midlife transitions. The goal is to leave sessions with clear steps to try and ways to track progress.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making space for a person's experience. Online sessions let the therapist reflect what matters to the client and help them name feelings and priorities without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and small experiments. Through video or messaging, a therapist can assign practical tasks, review progress, and teach simple skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand patterns in their relationships and how emotions guide their interactions. In remote sessions this work looks like identifying interaction cycles and practicing new ways of responding in real time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend methods to try and adjust them as needed. That collaborative planning helps keep work focused and relevant.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit shorter check-ins into a busy day and to keep momentum between longer sessions.
