About Claudia
Claudia Mayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away when stress, anger, or anxiety feel overwhelming. Claudia speaks English and German and brings 15 years of experience from work in the United States and Europe.
She believes each person knows their own story and builds on existing strengths. In sessions she listens with curiosity and asks clear questions to help people notice patterns.
Background and approach
The work often includes short exercises to practice between meetings so new skills become habits. Claudia uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and tolerating distress. People come for many concerns including anger, grief, depression, sleep problems, relationship and parenting stress, career choices, and compassion fatigue.
Claudia also supports those dealing with attachment, codependency, body image, and life purpose questions. Her goal is to work collaboratively to set realistic goals and steady progress. Sessions are offered in formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Claudia practices in Alabama as an AL LPC and welcomes conversations in English or German about how to begin.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. It often includes short experiments and practical homework that can be reviewed during online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behavior to reduce symptoms and test new ways of acting, which works well when sessions include concrete practice and feedback.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works side by side with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited over time as progress is measured and plans are adjusted.
Online formats offer flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and support deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit work on emotions and behavior into a busy schedule.
