About Claudia
She often works with clients seeking short-term, goal-oriented support, including crisis intervention and targeted problem solving. At the start of care she asks clients to describe what brought them to therapy and what they hope to achieve, and she tailors reading materials, strategies, and techniques to the work ahead. Claudia encourages clients to take an active role in treatment and emphasizes accountability as a way to build confidence while working toward change.
Claudia respects each person’s cultural and environmental background and makes space for authentic identity in the therapeutic process. Her approach aims to help clients develop more positive, self-reflective views of themselves and their surroundings while building practical skills to navigate relationships, grief, caregiving stress, addictive patterns, and other life challenges.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on specific goals and practical steps - it emphasizes strengths and small changes that move a person toward desired outcomes, which can be helpful for short-term, goal-oriented work. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, aiding in stress management and grounding during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made so the plan remains tailored and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access care from home. These options support consistent engagement, allow for varied modes of communication depending on comfort level, and help maintain momentum between appointments.
