About Clariza
Clariza Scarlett Saint George is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Illinois and has ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and difficult life changes. Her work often centers on LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma recovery, and rebuilding confidence after hard experiences.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations include identifying patterns, trying new coping skills, and setting small goals people can use between visits.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be respectful of identity and cultural background while staying focused on what the person wants to change. Clients come with many challenges, from addiction and mood concerns to relationship struggles and grief. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, career stress, and attention-related issues.
Additional areas include body image, chronic illness stress, dissociation, and intimacy-related questions. Her approach blends a few structured techniques alongside more open, client-directed conversation. That mix lets people practice new ways of thinking and feeling while also naming what matters most to them.
Therapy is described plainly so people can try strategies that fit everyday life. People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and helps turn insight into actions. She works to build clear steps toward better coping and healthier relationships.
Those early, practical changes are a frequent focus in the first weeks of work together.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes by clarifying what matters and taking small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for mood concerns, sleep issues, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to build self-understanding and confidence; it can be especially useful when someone needs support processing identity, grief, or relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues for emotion work, phone calls can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and chat or text can be used for quicker check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or daily care responsibilities.
