About Claudia
Claudia Lefort is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She has three years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Claudia focuses on practical steps you can take now to feel steadier and more in control.
Claudia favors a solution-focused approach for many clients, aiming to set clear goals and use short-term strategies for crisis and specific problems. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking.
How Claudia works
Motivational interviewing supports conversations about change and moving toward what matters most. Her style is warm, direct, and accountable. She invites clients to tell their story in their own words and then works with them to set realistic targets.
Claudia often suggests short readings and simple techniques to practice between sessions so progress carries into daily life. She pays attention to cultural and environmental background and acknowledges each person’s authentic self. Claudia encourages active collaboration, asking clients to take part in decisions and homework that build confidence over time.
Claudia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. People should choose the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on availability.

How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thoughts that cause distress and try different, healthier responses. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems.She also uses solution-focused work to set clear goals and build small, achievable steps toward them. This approach is often brief and works well when someone needs help with a specific problem or crisis.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Claudia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
