She uses a mix of talk-based methods so conversations stay practical and focused. Claudia listens for the first signs of what is getting in the way, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward tools to manage worry and build confidence. Claudia tailors the plan to each person's situation. That may mean looking at current thinking patterns and trying new behaviors, or talking through patterns that started earlier in life.
She adapts her style to match what feels useful for the person in front of her. Her approach balances short-term problem solving with deeper work when needed. For some concerns she focuses on skills and action steps, and for others she spends time understanding emotions and relationship patterns.
The pace is set by the client's goals and readiness. Claudia describes the start of therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people clarify what they want to change and chooses methods that make sense for those goals.
That way each person gets a plan they can actually use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Claudia commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person guides the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practices new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for managing worry, building confidence, and changing routines that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts methods when something feels unhelpful so the plan stays practical and relevant to the person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video provides face-to-face interaction for in-depth conversations. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or family responsibilities while keeping therapy focused on real steps forward.
