How Claudia works
Early clinical placements included a psychiatric ward and disaster response work after Hurricane Katrina, which shaped her approach to trauma and crisis care. Claudia spent 15 years doing neuropsychological testing and evaluations. Those long assessments gave her close, detailed insight into mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and adjustment after illness or injury.
She also supported people navigating disability and returning to work. Her style centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship. She uses education, emotional support, and clear tools so people can notice change in daily life.
Cognitive behavioral ideas and psychodynamic perspectives inform her work, along with attachment and mindfulness ideas when helpful. Claudia has led an online panic support group and values humor alongside steady care. She welcomes questions about goals and methods and helps people find practical ways to cope with addictions, relationship stress, grief, sleep or eating struggles, and attention or mood concerns.

Online support options
How Claudia's approaches work online
Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in relationships and help people understand how early bonds affect current reactions and connections.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness when people need tools to manage intense feelings. DBT-style skills teach practical breathing, grounding, and problem-solving techniques that fit well into daily routines and can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Claudia works collaboratively to choose approaches that match each person's goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts methods if something isn't working to keep progress moving forward.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Chat and messaging are handy for short check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity of care.
