About Thiera
Dr. Thiera Clifford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions, including perinatal and parenting concerns. She also addresses issues linked to identity and discrimination, such as LGBT concerns and multicultural stressors.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. Sessions center on specific treatment goals and what is happening in the here and now. She helps people build coping skills for daily life, manage symptoms that impair functioning, and improve communication and confidence.
Dr. Clifford uses mindfulness and psychoeducation alongside therapeutic conversation. That means learning short practices to calm the body and using information about how emotions and behavior work. She keeps exercises concrete so they can be used between sessions.
She offers individual therapy and also runs group work when it fits a person’s needs. Group sessions are described as a way to get extra support and practice skills with others facing similar problems.
Common topics she treats include trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief, chronic illness and pain, postpartum depression, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. The work can include practical skills like organization, productivity, and communication as well as deeper exploration of patterns that keep problems repeating.
How sessions work
How Dr. Clifford’s approaches translate to online work
Dr. Clifford often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s goals and experience, making sessions about what the client wants to address and change.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These skills are useful for managing sudden frustration, chronic stress, and symptoms that flare during life transitions. Together these approaches give both skills and space to understand patterns behind anger and mood problems.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust over time. That means sessions can shift toward practical skill work or toward talking about deeper patterns, depending on what the client needs.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when life is busy. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so the work stays focused and applicable to daily life.
