Claudia Stoscheck, LCSW

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people through hard moments. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Claudia aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure.

She uses clear, practical tools in sessions and focuses on what feels doable day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. These methods are used to change unhelpful thinking, increase emotional awareness, and build steady coping skills.

Claudia often helps people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction, and challenges linked to identity and sexual orientation. She also supports people working through abandonment issues, attachment patterns, body image struggles, and adjustment after loss or major life change. Her work includes attention to sleeping problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and then practicing small changes that add up. Conversations include skill practice, gentle reflection, and goal-setting tailored to daily life. Claudia keeps language simple and concrete so clients can use what they learn between sessions.

She practices in New York and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Claudia provides in-person and remote session formats to fit different needs and routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then try new ways of responding. CBT is often practical and goal-oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her way of working too, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's own goals guide the work.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Claudia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a mix of techniques to try. The plan can change as people learn what helps and what doesn't.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick ways to touch base, review homework, or get brief guidance between longer sessions.
