Therapeutic approaches and online care
Claudia frequently uses solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying specific goals and practical steps to reach them. This approach tends to be brief and targeted, making it useful for crisis intervention and other goal-oriented needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool she applies - it helps clients recognize and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is also incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and coping strategies for emotional regulation and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia works with each person to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors techniques from these approaches to find the best fit. Clients can expect to discuss what feels most useful and to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Claudia can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapeutic work to continue when in-person visits are impractical.
