How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or problematic behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve tracking thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and setting practical homework between meetings.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness and grounding practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and support emotion regulation by building present-moment skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences, and immediate needs to decide which tools will be most useful. That way the plan reflects what the person wants to achieve and feels doable week to week.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lifestyles. Video helps when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
