Background and approach
Claudia aims to help people feel more grounded and able to cope with difficult moments. Claudia draws from several approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and to clarify values.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness and trust in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Therapy can include talking, skill practice, and short behavior experiments to test new ways of acting.
Sessions also address family patterns, communication, and parenting stresses when those issues come up. Claudia takes a trauma-informed perspective when working with past hurt and abuse. People who prefer therapy in Spanish can choose sessions in that language.
For practical steps to begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire then schedule sessions. Claudia aims to meet people where they are and to help them build routines that support recovery and wellbeing.
How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on small, meaningful behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape expectations and trust, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest techniques from these methods. Together you decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy offers several useful options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and offer alternatives when travel or time are barriers.
