The short answer to this question is that clinical psychologists can work with any problem that has an emotional component. This actually means that a clinical psychologist can help with a vast range of problems and difficulties. We have strategies and skills that help by targeting the underlying mechanisms that lead to emotional problems. We work with many people so we have direct experience of working with many of the problems we have listed below and more.
