About Claudia
As an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), she combines clinical training with compassionate care to address concerns such as grief, addiction, parenting struggles, anger, bipolar disorder, and attachment or abandonment issues. Claudia draws from evidence-based methods to help clients strengthen coping skills, increase resilience, and move toward more fulfilling relationships and personal goals. She provides therapy in English and Spanish and works with individuals facing a range of issues including trauma and abuse, sleep problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and blended family dynamics.
Claudia’s style is affirming and client-centered - she partners with clients to identify goals, adapt interventions to fit each person’s needs, and support sustained growth over time.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth
Claudia utilizes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting environment where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings and values - it is useful for building self-understanding and improving self-esteem. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training - it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication and resolving conflict in relationships, making it a strong option for couples and partners working on connection and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques so care reflects each person’s unique situation.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, easier access from different locations within California, and multiple ways to engage with care. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of treatment and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client.
