Ms Claire Kaniewski
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“Hello! My focus in my practice is working predominately with teens, young adults (20s-30s), and LGBTQ individuals.”
About Me
I guide teens, young adults (20s-30s), and LGBTQ individuals through the unique transitions and challenges of these pivotal life stages. My practice offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore identity, relationships, and well-being. We can work together to build resilience and develop practical strategies. Clients often find this a safe environment to freely express themselves and cultivate a deeper sense of self.
Approach
When clients arrive, I focus on gently pacing sessions to match their comfort while naming patterns and strengths that often go unnoticed. In Long Beach, sessions in English are relaxed and collaborative, with options for family involvement when helpful. We use down-to-earth tools, short check-ins, and goal-focused experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety, untangle mood shifts, and process past hurts safely. This way of working suits adolescents, families, and individuals who want practical change and a clearer sense of self.
