Background and approach

Sessions often include short exercises, clear goals, and strategies to reduce overwhelming emotions. Claudette also helps with communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, jealousy, workplace stress, and issues related to military service and post-traumatic stress. She works with people facing social anxiety and phobia and supports those wanting to build self-love after difficult experiences.

Her style is direct but compassionate. She will adapt conversations and the plan to fit each person’s situation and pace. The emphasis is on learning tools that make daily life more manageable and on building confidence to handle future challenges.

To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step connect you to the matching and booking process. From there sessions can move at a speed that feels right for you.

Online approaches for skills and coping

Claudette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often involving short exercises and clear steps to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques help when feelings are intense or when someone struggles to manage reactions in relationships or at work.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Claudette will review your needs, goals, and preferences and work with you to choose techniques that fit your life. That collaborative planning may combine CBT and DBT tools or emphasize one approach more, depending on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and chat or text is practical for brief updates or people who prefer writing. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
