People commonly seek her support when facing crossroads, relationship conflict, challenging family dynamics, anxiety, anger, emotional turmoil, or the legacy of past trauma.

Her practice has included a significant caseload in both private practice and the mental health department of an organization, seeing around 35 to 40 individuals per week. Claudia works with a wide range of concerns including stress, self-esteem, addiction, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues, and mood disorders. She looks forward to meeting you and talking further.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Claudia primarily uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with clearer, more constructive thinking to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also incorporates narrative therapy, which invites clients to explore the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, helping to uncover new meanings and alternative ways of relating to difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Claudia works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from different models to find the best fit for the situation.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments, and allow continuity of care for people in different locations within Texas. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to support progress and keep momentum between sessions.
