Hope Schaffrick, LICSW, LCSW

Hope Schaffrick is a Clinical Social Worker (LICSW, LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 22 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and anger. She also works with those facing career changes, grief, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.

Hope uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on identifying what gets in the way and building clear skills to respond differently.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice across multiple settings. That experience informs a flexible way of working that mixes problem-solving, coping skills, and attention to emotional patterns. She avoids labels that limit people and aims to keep talk concrete and useful.

People who come for help with anger often want to stop snapping at loved ones, reduce resentment at work, or manage others' anger at home. Sessions typically look at triggers, patterns, and small behavior changes a person can try between meetings.

Hope accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
