She also helps people explore life purpose and build self-love. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth; she treats each person as the expert on their life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on changing patterns in thinking and action to produce clearer, steadier moods.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be helpful for people who want concrete tools to stay balanced when emotions run high.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to emphasize. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for full sessions and detailed work, phone can be a simpler check-in, live chat supports shorter conversations, and messaging helps keep progress between meetings. These options offer flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and needs.
