Background and approach

Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. Claudia brings 15 years of experience working with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and issues around relationships. She also helps with self-esteem, social anxiety and women's issues.

She supports people facing divorce, guilt, life-purpose questions, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-directed. Claudia helps people set small, doable steps and practices between sessions.

She believes clients are the experts in their stories and works alongside them to build on strengths. Claudia practices in California and offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls and phone sessions, plus live chat and text-based messaging for check-ins. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

How Claudia uses evidence-based approaches online

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on changing patterns in thinking and behavior to produce practical improvements in daily life.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear interpersonal communication. DBT techniques can be helpful when feelings become overwhelming or when someone needs steady tools for coping.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Claudia works with clients to match methods to their goals and life situation, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The work is collaborative and aimed at building skills the client can use between sessions.

Online therapy with Claudia is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and full conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into daily life.
