Trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief related to past and present life events, relationship conflicts, worsening of symptoms, or the bad consequences of even the best decision making can injure your heart and diminish your hope. If this is your time to experience relationship challenges, betrayals, stressors, or losses that unexpectedly provide you with swift kicks that knock you face-first into the dirt, therapy will support you and teach you to develop your own plan to dust yourself off. Here you can regain your strength, and experience the empowerment of reconnecting with your goals while you develop new skills for healing and recovery. For over twenty years, I have partnered with children, adults, adolescents, and families on their individual journeys of healing and restoration. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Master Addiction Counselor and my approach is defined by your goals, challenges, and the plan that is most supportive of your healing and recovery.

Clarinda Squires
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.

Find a therapist near you in Garden City, Georgia
Finding a therapist near you in Garden City, Georgia starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Georgia is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care.

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Georgia, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Georgia, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
