Background and approach
Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and managing strong emotions such as anger or anxiety. Her style blends client-centered listening with goal-oriented techniques. Claudia draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and narrative techniques to help people reorganize difficult memories and stories about themselves. Many people come to her when life changes feel hard to handle or when parenting and family roles create stress.
Claudia supports people who want concrete tools they can use between sessions as well as space to talk things through in the moment. She emphasizes readiness for change and works at a pace the client can manage. Claudia asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps shape next steps.
Her aim is to make therapy practical, understandable, and focused on what matters most to each person.

How Claudia's Approaches Work Online
Claudia commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, helping them feel heard while they decide on goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or stress.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness practices can help people notice triggers and choose responses rather than reacting automatically, which is useful for managing anger and anxiety during daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with clients to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts plans together so the therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to process thoughts between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular support easier to access.
