She also addresses issues like body image, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Claudia uses structured techniques to break problems into manageable steps. She emphasizes clear communication between therapist and client so goals are shared and progress is visible. Sessions often center on learning specific skills people can try between meetings.

Mindfulness and emotion-focused work are part of her approach when people need help understanding feelings and reacting differently. Cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods are used to change unhelpful thinking and to set short-term, achievable goals. Dialectical skills may be brought in to manage intense emotions and impulsivity.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University. She has nine years of clinical experience and has supported clients through issues tied to aging, HIV/AIDS concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, and other life stressors. Claudia aims to make therapy a collaborative effort toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Claudia draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific patterns and gives concrete skills to test different ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical behavior therapy is used when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way; it offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. She checks in about what is working and adjusts strategies so progress feels practical and measurable.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or childcare, and allowing brief check-ins when needed.
