About Claudia
Claudia Jimenez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and other life changes. Claudia helps clients who are dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, and career or self-esteem issues.
Claudia uses straightforward conversations to clarify what is most troubling and what the client wants to change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful feelings without getting stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy helps when past relationships affect current patterns, and Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about making changes.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. That might include short behavioral experiments, communication practice, or small values-based actions. Claudia also works on coping skills for anger, chronic stress, and caregiver strain. She can discuss how mood and sleep interact with daily functioning.
Claudia speaks English and Spanish and practices in California as an LCSW. She has experience addressing abandonment, foster care and adoption issues, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and caregiving stress, codependency, and domestic violence concerns. Her approach is goal-oriented and conversational, helping people clarify priorities and take manageable next steps.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online care
Claudia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values while learning to notice difficult feelings. CBT helps identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood active.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy when past relationship patterns affect current life. This approach looks at how early bonds influence trust, intimacy, and communication, and it supports practical changes in how people relate to others. Claudia treats choice of method as collaborative and will discuss which approaches fit a client’s goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting meetings into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the option to avoid travel.
