Karlene Clarke

I am Karlene Clarke, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New York with 20 years of experience working in the field of mental health. People seek out counseling for a variety of reasons. It usually means they are looking for solutions to problems or are struggling to move forward in their life. I have worked in several settings serving young adults, couples, families and older adults. My main theoretical framework include cognitive behavioral and rational emotive modalities; however, I have an eclectic approach to treatment which includes other modalities. In my practice I am supportive and non-judgmental; always looking for strengths and resilience so whatever negative feelings or symptoms you are experiencing are alleviated and addressed. I help to find and fix the root cause of problems so moving forward you have new tools and coping skills which will serve you well in managing future crises. I love being a counselor and am flexible, non-judgmental and compassionate. I look forward to working with you to make life good.
