Claudia holds LPCC and LPC credentials.

She emphasizes tailored conversations and individualized planning so that goals, values, and personal circumstances shape the direction of care.

Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, Claudia aims to offer a steady, supportive presence throughout the therapeutic process. Her practice focuses on practical strategies and collaborative problem solving to help clients build confidence, improve relationships, and better manage daily stress and anxiety.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Claudia uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes active listening and empathy and is well suited to relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and emotional adjustment.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and testing practical strategies to change responses to stress and anxiety. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, mood changes, and everyday coping skills.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs when motivation or readiness to change is a barrier. This collaborative method helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen personal reasons for making lasting changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time as circumstances and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and practical strategies without requiring travel, which can be especially helpful for people managing work, family, or mobility constraints.
