About Claudia
Claudia Young helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting pressures, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 15 years of experience. Claudia speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She focuses on meeting each person where they are and working at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and to build small skills that make daily life steadier.
How Claudia works
Claudia draws on a mix of approaches to match individual needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Attachment-based ideas inform work on intimacy, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues. Over her career she has addressed a wide range of concerns, from depression and bipolar issues to addictions, compassion fatigue, and coping after trauma. She also supports people dealing with blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, communication struggles, and caregiving stress.
Her work includes both coaching-style sessions and deeper therapeutic work. Claudia offers multiple online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and moving toward living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and connection, and it helps people improve trust and communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they adjust methods so the work fits the person's pace and concerns.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging adds flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
