Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term coping tools, and small steps clients can try between meetings. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, caregiving strain, and sexual or intimacy concerns. Her background as an LCSW means she has spent decades working with adults on issues such as depression, sleep difficulties, anger, and chronic illness.

Claudia brings practical experience with parenting stress, blended family challenges, and attachment-related problems. She also addresses concerns connected to aging, cancer, and caregiver burden. In sessions she blends evidence-informed strategies with a person-centered attitude.

That means listening closely, helping clients name what’s going on, and then choosing techniques together that fit their life. Claudia often uses mindfulness and behavioral tools to reduce reactivity and increase calm. People who choose her often want focused help that is hands-on and realistic.

She emphasizes small changes that add up, and coaches clients on how to handle setbacks without losing momentum.

Therapeutic methods and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and refocus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for changing reactions to anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness so strong emotions feel less overwhelming and daily life becomes more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods suit their goals and preferences, trying short trials and adjusting plans as needed. The process is aimed at building skills that fit daily routines and real-world demands.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and demonstrations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can support between-session coaching and quick problem-solving. These options help people keep continuity of care while managing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
