How Claudia works
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and narrative approaches to help clients find new meaning in difficult events. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to support emotion regulation and stress management. People come to Claudia for stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, addictions, and issues related to intimacy and parenting.
She also addresses attention concerns such as ADHD, mood challenges like depression and bipolar symptoms, and career or caregiving stress. Her additional focus areas include attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, blended family issues, and family of origin concerns. Sessions combine practical exercises, thought work, and reflective conversation.
Claudia uses clear explanations and collaborative planning to set short-term goals and check progress. Her bilingual skill makes it easier for English- and Spanish-speaking clients to express themselves. Claudia works with people using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She recommends a first conversation to discuss goals and choose an approach that fits each person’s needs.

Online support options
Approach-oriented online therapy with practical tools
Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small, concrete experiments to change how they feel and act. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles where thinking habits get in the way.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current partnerships and communication. This can help people who want clearer boundaries, better trust, or to understand recurring relationship cycles.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. Claudia will ask about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Then she and the client pick or blend strategies and check progress as they go, adjusting methods based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let clients use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work well with lower bandwidth, live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or daily life while using approaches that suit each person.
