About Claudia

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with thirty years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction concerns, relationship pain, and life changes. People turn to her when they need steady guidance and practical steps forward.

Her approach combines straightforward talk with hands-on tools. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new skills, and trying small changes between meetings. Claudia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and mindfulness exercises to tailor work to each person.

She has a long record of supporting people dealing with trauma, caregiver burnout, chronic illness, and the strain that follows major losses or disasters. Claudia often helps clients untangle communication problems, manage anger, and rebuild intimacy after painful events. Her background includes helping those coping with aging, body-image issues, and complex attachment concerns.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and practices strategies that can be used in daily life. Expect reflective conversation, behavior-focused tasks, and mindfulness practices you can use at home. The goal is clearer choices and more calm in stressful moments.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. ACT emphasizes values and small, committed actions that can reduce suffering over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test new ways of responding.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to build attention and calm during stressful moments. Simple breathing and grounding exercises are taught and practiced between meetings to help with anxiety and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands and then adapt methods to fit each person's situation. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or offer a quieter setting when that is helpful. Licensed professionals tailor pacing, homework, and technique so therapy can work alongside your daily routine.
