About Clea
Clea Weiss is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice in New Jersey. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Her work is also aimed at people facing parenting pressures, career transitions, and the demands of blended families.
She prefers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions begin with what feels most urgent to the client. From there she and the client set clear goals and try practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Clea blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered listening to understand how someone is coping now. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, concrete behavior changes.
Emotionally-focused ideas help people untangle painful patterns in close relationships. Her experience includes supporting people through divorce, infidelity, codependency, and family conflict. She also works with social anxiety, women's issues, bipolar mood concerns, and young adult challenges.
Her aim is to help clients find clearer choices and more manageable ways to handle life changes. People who do best with her style usually want a practical partnership. They often want a balance of listening, insight, and actionable steps.
Sessions can include talking, problem-solving, and creative assignments when those fit the person’s goals.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work means starting with open listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. This helps build trust and makes sessions feel focused on the person’s immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses short, practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It's helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust as they learn what helps. That collaboration means the plan can change if a different focus or technique feels more useful over time.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging are useful for quick problem-solving or updates between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
