About Clariza
Clariza Scarlett Saint George is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with ten years of practice. She focuses on helping people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions in a respectful, affirming way. Her sessions aim to be culturally responsive and welcoming to diverse identities.
She often works with people managing trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, and challenges related to sexual identity. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and issues around intimacy.
Background and approach
In session she draws on multiple approaches to meet each person where they are. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in feelings and connection. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and client-centered methods when they fit the situation.
She tends to keep language direct and practical. Clients can expect help noticing unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and setting small, doable goals between sessions. Work often includes emotion regulation tools, perspective shifts, and communication practice.
Clariza offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies by location and therapist availability.

How Clariza's Approaches Work Online
Clariza uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns in their emotions and in how they connect with others. This approach can be useful for working through attachment-related worries, intimacy concerns, and deep emotional responses.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, so sessions often prioritize the person's perspective and pace rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as needed. Decision-making is collaborative and revisited over time to ensure a good fit.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper emotional work and when nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who need shorter, asynchronous contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
