Claudia Stoscheck, LCSW

Claudia Stoscheck is an LCSW with 30 years of clinical experience based in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Claudia also addresses concerns such as grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is down-to-earth and practical. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills that can be used outside of appointments, like breathing, grounding, and adjusting unhelpful thinking.

Claudia has long experience supporting people through transitions such as caregiving, chronic illness, bereavement, and changes in relationships. She also works with concerns related to attachment, abandonment, body image, aging, and commitment questions. Her work includes attention to intimate and sexual issues and to stress that arises from caring for others.

In sessions she listens for practical next steps. Conversations often include setting small, achievable goals, rehearsing how to handle difficult moments, and practicing mindfulness exercises. She can help people map out coping strategies for anger, avoidance, or social anxiety and phobia, and then test what works in daily life.

Clients who prefer clear structure will find concrete tools and exercises. Those who want a reflective space will find room to talk through emotions and relationship concerns. Claudia draws on three decades of practice to adapt methods to what a person actually needs and can use day to day.
