Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can be helpful anytime your thoughts, emotions, stress, or relationships are making life harder than you'd like. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from counseling.

Many people seek therapy for anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. Others simply want a better understanding of themselves and healthier ways to cope with challenges.

At CLE Counseling, we work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families in Westlake and throughout Ohio via telehealth. If something feels off, overwhelming, or difficult to manage on your own, therapy may be a helpful next step.

I've never been to therapy before. What should I expect?

Your first therapy session is a conversation focused on getting to know you, understanding what brought you to counseling, and identifying what you'd like to gain from the process.

You don't need to have all the answers or know exactly what to say. Many people start therapy feeling nervous or unsure where to begin. Your therapist will help guide the conversation and work with you to create goals that feel realistic and meaningful.

How do I find the right therapist?

Finding the right therapist is important because a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the biggest predictors of successful outcomes in counseling.

When you contact CLE Counseling, our team will learn more about your goals, concerns, preferences, insurance, and scheduling needs to help match you with a therapist who fits your situation. We offer support for anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, relationships, grief, and many other concerns.

If a therapist doesn't feel like the right fit, that's okay. We can help you explore other options within our practice.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. CLE Counseling accepts most major insurance plans and is committed to making mental health care as accessible as possible.

Since coverage varies by plan, our team can help verify your benefits and explain potential copays, deductibles, coinsurance, or authorization requirements before you begin services whenever possible. We also offer self-pay options for clients whose insurance is out of network or does not cover the services they need.

If you have questions about coverage, we're happy to help you understand your options.

Do you offer online therapy anywhere in Ohio?

Yes. CLE Counseling provides secure online therapy services throughout Ohio.

Telehealth allows you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your home or another private location while receiving the same personalized support as an in-person session. Many clients appreciate the convenience of online counseling because it eliminates travel time and makes therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule.

Do you offer therapy in Westlake, Ohio?

Yes. CLE Counseling offers in-person therapy at our Westlake, Ohio office as well as telehealth services throughout Ohio.

We work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families and provide support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, grief, stress, and relationship challenges. Our office is conveniently located for clients throughout Cleveland's west side, including Rocky River, Bay Village, North Olmsted, Avon, and Avon Lake.

If you're unsure whether in-person or virtual counseling is the best fit, we can help you explore both options.

Can you diagnose ADHD or autism in adults?

Yes. CLE Counseling offers comprehensive adult ADHD and autism evaluations designed to provide clarity, insight, and practical next steps.

Many adults seek an evaluation after years of wondering why certain tasks, social situations, sensory experiences, or organizational challenges feel more difficult than they seem for others. Our assessment process focuses on understanding your experiences, identifying strengths and challenges, and providing meaningful recommendations.

When appropriate, clients receive a detailed report and personalized guidance to help them move forward with confidence.

What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy approach that helps people process traumatic experiences, distressing memories, anxiety, and other challenges that continue to affect their daily lives.

Rather than focusing solely on talking about difficult experiences, EMDR helps the brain process and store information in a healthier way, reducing emotional distress and allowing healing to occur. EMDR is commonly used for trauma and PTSD but may also be helpful for anxiety, negative self-beliefs, grief, and other concerns.

CLE Counseling offers EMDR therapy in Westlake and throughout Ohio via telehealth when appropriate.

Do you offer LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy?

Yes. CLE Counseling is committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment.

Our therapists strive to create a space where clients can explore their identities, relationships, and mental health concerns without fear of judgment. We recognize the unique challenges LGBTQIA+ individuals may face while also understanding that identity is only one part of a person's story.

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, life transitions, or identity exploration, our goal is to provide compassionate, affirming care that respects your lived experience.

What makes CLE Counseling different from other therapy practices?

CLE Counseling combines specialized expertise with a warm, personalized approach that helps clients feel supported from the very first conversation.

Our team offers therapy for anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, relationships, grief, and many other concerns, with both in-person counseling in Westlake and telehealth services throughout Ohio. We also take time to carefully match clients with a therapist who fits their goals, preferences, and needs.

We believe therapy shouldn't feel cold, intimidating, or one-size-fits-all. Our goal is to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while building meaningful, lasting change.
