Clematis plants need to be supported by a wall or some other structure. Many types of clematis don't require traditional stakes but will require support during their vining process. Vining clematis such as clematis "Stella" will grow naturally, wrapping their leaf stems around support structure of approximately half an inch. For larger objects, such as an arbor, wall, or lamppost, thinner supports are required.
To encourage lower branching in new clematis, you can reduce their height to 12-18inches for new vines. The clematis stems won't need to be pruned for the first two years. However, if the majority of their new growth is coming out, then you can prune them to a height between 12-18 inches. A healthy clematis will bloom more often in the future, regardless of how much pruning is done.
