About CLAUDIA
CLAUDIA ULWELLING is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing family stress, trauma, parenting strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people who are ready to reflect and make changes. Claudia works in California and conducts sessions in English.
Claudia earned a master's degree in psychology in 2013 and holds a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT.
How CLAUDIA works
Over eight years she has used a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on strengths and on finding useful steps forward rather than getting stuck on problems. Her style is collaborative and client-centered.
She listens to each person's story and helps set short-term goals while also addressing deeper patterns. Cognitive and narrative tools are used to reframe unhelpful thoughts and to make sense of experiences that cause pain. Claudia includes mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments.
Solution-focused strategies are used to identify small, practical changes that can lead to relief. She adapts methods to the issue at hand rather than following a rigid formula. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches for change in online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, gives space to tell their story, and helps identify what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and make choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In sessions clients learn to identify unhelpful thoughts and test more balanced ways of thinking. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and managing reactions in daily life.
Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding practices can lower stress and help people stay calmer during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. Plans can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can work well for quick check-ins or short reflective notes. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and reduce travel time while keeping care focused on recovery and problem solving.
