Clarinda Squires, LCSW
About me
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate stress, trauma, conflict, and major life transitions. My background spans clinical assessments, community mental health, crisis work, private practice, and supporting clients through complex emotional patterns that often go unspoken.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but overwhelmed—managing careers, families, relationships, or personal expectations while feeling anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted underneath. I often support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication problems, stress, grief, and the long-term impact of traumatic or difficult life experiences.
My therapy style is warm, honest, and grounded. I’m not the “smile and nod” type—you’ll get real support, thoughtful questions, and a space where you don’t have to pretend everything is fine. I help you slow down, understand what’s happening internally, break unhelpful patterns, and build confidence in how you cope and communicate.
I pull from cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, strengths-based work, motivational interviewing, and practical emotional regulation and communication tools. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits you—not a generic template—and focus on steps that create meaningful change in your day-to-day life.
It takes courage to reach out and even more courage to be honest about what you’re carrying. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk with you, challenge you with compassion, and support you as you regain clarity and balance, I’m here.
I look forward to working with you.

she is so intentional with her words, and you can genuinely tell how much she cares about what she does. she has a way of understanding things on a deeper level and making you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. she doesn’t just listen to respond; she takes the time to understand where you’re coming from and offers thoughtful insight that really sticks with you. you can tell she is passionate about helping people, and that she truly cares about the impact she makes. i’m so thankful to have found someone who makes me feel comfortable opening up and who helps me see things from a different perspective. i couldn’t recommend her enough.

I've only had one session with Clarinda, and after that session, I knew I had taken a path in the right direction. She made my first session feel like a warm cozy spot that I could rest the things I was carrying. The interaction felt engaging in a very soft supportive kind of way.
