Claire Cornett

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Life can feel heavy. Whether you're navigating anxiety that never seems to quiet down, processing a loss, working through trauma, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal. I'm Claire, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. I work with adults who are ready to do meaningful inner work — not because something is "wrong" with them, but because they deserve support, clarity, and a space that is entirely theirs. My work is rooted in compassion and curiosity. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I take the trust my clients place in me seriously. Together, we'll go at a pace that feels right for you — no rushing, no judgment, and no pressure to show up as anything other than yourself.
