About Clarita
Clarita Requena-Layton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska with 7 years of experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and the practical challenges of life change. Clarita also focuses on guilt and shame, forgiveness, abandonment, and communication problems among other concerns.
She sees clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on strengths already present. Sessions include straightforward conversation about what has happened, what keeps it happening, and small steps that might make daily life easier. Clarita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those conversations and to address things like impulsivity, isolation, and workplace stress.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She talks through patterns that lead to recurring guilt or shame, and she helps people name the feelings underneath those patterns. Work often focuses on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust in oneself.
Clarita has spent seven years helping people navigate post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and depression alongside life transitions such as divorce or job change. She supports people aiming to reconnect with purpose and self-love after difficult experiences.

How evidence-based work and online sessions fit together
Clarita draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses looks at behavior and thinking patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by practicing different responses in everyday situations. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way so the emotional charge around memories can decrease and daily functioning can improve.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Clarita will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. The client’s preferences and life demands shape which techniques are emphasized.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to fit into daily routines so that progress happens between sessions rather than only during them.
