Christy Clavio, LCSW

Christy Clavio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship and family struggles, parenting, sleep and eating issues, and anger. Christy also brings experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar conditions, and compassion fatigue.

She frames her work around mind-body approaches and practical skills. Sessions emphasize learning ways to notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful patterns. Christy draws on techniques that include cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, movement and breath practices, and expressive arts to help people practice new responses.

Christy previously led trauma-focused cognitive behavioral work in juvenile and social services settings. She has provided school-based therapy, recovery education, and integrative care for people dealing with chronic pain, sleep disruption, and substance use challenges. That range informs how she matches strategies to everyday problems.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work and additional training in mind-body methods, music and sound therapy, and bodywork. She also teaches continuing education for clinicians on trauma in the body and mindfulness through music. These experiences shape a pragmatic approach that blends talk work with somatic and creative practices.

In sessions she focuses on building skills clients can use between meetings. Expect short-term tools for managing anger or anxiety alongside longer work on patterns that keep problems returning. People who want practical techniques and mind-body options tend to find this approach useful.
