How Claudia blends approaches in online therapy
Claudia combines somatic ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work to address emotional and relational struggles. Somatic work helps people notice and work with sensations in the body - useful when stress or trauma are stored physically. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life even when hard feelings remain. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help clients try new ways of relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Claudia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor sessions to those needs. She encourages small experiments between appointments and adjusts methods based on what proves helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or parenting duties and let people continue care from home. The range of formats also lets clients practice coping skills in real time and keep contact between full sessions when needed.
