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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
