Functional Communication Therapy

Communicate clearly — even when your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Stress, anxiety, ADHD, and selective mutism can all affect communication. You may know exactly what you want to say but freeze, lose your words, or feel your voice disappear in the moment.

Functional Communication Therapy at Clear Communication Works helps you build communication skills that hold up in real‑life situations — not just in calm, ideal conditions.

Common concerns we support

• Communication breakdowns during anxiety

• Selective mutism (teens + adults)

• ADHD‑related communication challenges

• Difficulty expressing needs or boundaries

• Word‑finding issues under stress

• Overwhelm during conversations

• Trouble organizing thoughts while speaking

What therapy looks like

• Breath–voice–speech coordination

• Body‑based awareness of early freeze or overwhelm cues

• Communication pacing and clarity strategies

• Script building for difficult conversations

• Role‑play of real‑life situations (meetings, appointments, conflict)

• Gradual speaking hierarchies for selective mutism

Who this service is for

Adults and teens who want to communicate with more clarity, confidence, and ease — especially in high‑pressure or emotionally charged situations.
