How Claudia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Claudia often blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past stressful or painful events affect current feelings and reactions, and helps people process those reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and tailoring conversations to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. That means she listens to what feels most useful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, check the platform's booking details to confirm which formats the therapist currently offers. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to guide skills practice, review progress, and plan steps between meetings without promising a specific outcome.
