How Claudia's Approaches Work Online

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions that change how they feel. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between meetings.

She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and reducing crisis moments. DBT techniques focus on practical coping tools like grounding, distress tolerance, and building routines that lower reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust plans over time based on what works.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share thoughts between sessions or when immediate written support helps. These options aim to make consistent care more convenient and easier to maintain while exploring practical skills and personal change.
