More about Claudia
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I specialize in working with children and families with a decade of experience. I adopted an holistic approach using an eclectic mix of interventions such as Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Play/Art Therapy techniques, Creative interventions are employed to heal, restore and transform lives. I utilized a strengths-based approach that focuses on the client's unique needs, while building upon their God-given gifts, talents and abilities. The goal is to assist client in identifying and eventually eliminating their faulty thinking that leads to faulty beliefs, and then to maladaptive behavior patterns.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
