Claudia Stoscheck , LCSW

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship tension, grief, and issues tied to women's lives. She aims to make therapy practical and straightforward so change feels possible.

Claudia helps people cope with trauma, addiction, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also works with parents facing the strain of caregiving, people dealing with chronic illness, and those managing major life transitions. Her practice addresses both day-to-day struggles and deeper patterns such as attachment and control issues.

In sessions she combines acceptance-focused methods with cognitive and mindfulness-based tools. Conversations focus on identifying manageable steps, building skills, and noticing what matters most. People can expect clear strategies alongside space to process difficult feelings.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace. Claudia draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work. She encourages small changes that add up to better coping and stronger relationships.

Claudia practices in New York and offers care in English. She aims to help people find balance, rebuild after loss, and move toward goals that reflect their values.

Approaches that translate to online work

Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward what matters. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it focuses on meaningful action rather than only symptom reduction.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills. CBT supports work on sleep, worry, mood, and relationship patterns by teaching strategies that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will explore goals, preferences, and challenges with each person and recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines and comfort levels. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
