How sessions work

How Claudia Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Claudia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anger, anxiety, or low mood. DBT includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how people handle conflict and strong feelings.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns in close relationships and to help people notice and shift interactional cycles. Those approaches aim to give clear tools and steps that clients can try between sessions. Claudia treats the choice of approach as collaborative; she discusses options with clients and adjusts methods based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful in practice.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote work so clients can use skills in daily life.
