She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Sessions often include talking through relationship patterns, managing strong emotions, and building coping skills. Claudia pays attention to how past attachments affect current behavior and decision making.
Her work often addresses impulsivity, obsessive patterns, and issues around money and midlife transitions. She offers straightforward ways to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning. Conversations can include how guilt, shame, or forgiveness shape current choices.
Claudia has substantial experience with substance use concerns alongside mood and anxiety problems. She helps people consider changes in behavior and supports efforts to reduce harm and regain control. Meetings also cover communication problems and men's issues when those are relevant.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, focusing on what works for each person. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Virginia. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Claudia commonly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach clear skills and strategies. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. Another approach targets behaviors directly, helping people change patterns that feed stress, impulsivity, or compulsive actions.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. Claudia will help clients weigh options based on their goals, symptoms, and what feels doable. She adapts methods so they fit the person's daily routines and preferences rather than asking clients to follow a rigid plan.
Practical benefits of working online can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. If you want to proceed, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know whether video or phone is offered. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between appointments and check in on progress without long travel times.
