About Clarita
Clarita Requena-Layton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people navigate work and wellbeing challenges, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and depression. She emphasizes a strengths-based approach and sees clients as experts in their own stories. Clarita aims to offer steady support as people take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
She believes change begins with small, practical steps. Sessions center on making sense of what has been happening and building on what already works. Clarita encourages self-compassion and clearer communication so clients can reduce shame, manage impulses, and reconnect with what matters to them.
Clarita has seven years of experience in counseling and brings that background to conversations about coping with life changes, workplace issues, and social anxiety. She helps people affected by abandonment, divorce and separation, or post-traumatic stress to clarify priorities and set manageable goals.
Common topics she supports include forgiveness, guilt, loneliness, and finding purpose. Clarita works with clients on communication problems and control issues, offering practical tools to handle conflict and stress. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at real-world improvement.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her Alaska practice. She asks people to consider their strengths and to decide what changes they want to try. Clarita invites those ready to take a first step to use the Start Therapy process to begin matching and scheduling.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based techniques are used to address practical problems and emotional pain. One common approach emphasizes building on strengths and clear goals to make steady progress; this helps with workplace stress, life transitions, and problems with motivation. Another approach focuses on communication skills and behavior changes to reduce conflict and impulsivity, which can be helpful for relationship concerns and workplace issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust the focus as progress is made and priorities change so the work stays relevant and useful.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between tasks. It can also let people pick the communication style that works best for them, such as less frequent short check-ins or longer weekly conversations, depending on what the therapist offers.
