About Claudelle
Claudelle Shaw is an AASW social worker with 15 years' experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She offers calm, practical support for depression, trauma and abuse, and for those coping with life changes such as separation, chronic illness or caregiving stress. Sessions aim to make thinking clearer and to find steps that feel doable in daily life.
Claudelle works in a person-centred way. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, alongside approaches that focus on attachment and emotional safety. Her room mixes short-term skills and deeper work. Cognitive behavioural strategies help manage anxious thoughts and low mood.
Mindfulness practices support grounding and calmer responses to stress. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current patterns. Claudelle also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship conversations.
That gives clear ways to improve communication, rebuild trust after separation or conflict, and handle everyday tensions. She adapts techniques to each person's situation rather than applying one method to everyone. She values straightforward goals and regular feedback.
Sessions aim to build coping skills, reduce distress, and restore a sense of control. People who want a collaborative and practical approach find this style helpful.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to help people notice and shift those patterns in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill-building to change thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions this often involves structured exercises, homework and short tools to use between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity; these can be practised during video or phone sessions and reinforced through short daily exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudelle will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative selection helps tailor the online format to what the person needs, whether that is short-term symptom relief or deeper relationship work.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want frequent brief check-ins, or need support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or illness without losing continuity of care.
