About Claudia

Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 15 years of clinical experience in California to each session. Claudia aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.

Claudia uses practical, evidence-informed methods to guide conversations and build skills. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client - improving mood, managing intense feelings, repairing communication, or coping after loss.

Background and approach

She describes her style as warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on clear steps people can try between meetings. Her background includes treatment for trauma and addictions, work on attachment and intimacy concerns, and support for parenting and career stresses. Claudia blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to match a person’s needs.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when people need tools for managing strong emotions. Claudia offers several online session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She helps clients weigh which format fits their schedule and goals.

Practical matters like timing, frequency, and how to track progress are addressed early so people leave sessions with clear next steps. People who prefer collaborative, down-to-earth therapy often find her approach helpful. Claudia focuses on small, achievable changes that add up over time.

She works from California and provides services in English and Spanish.

Online support

How Claudia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Claudia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small actions toward them, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical thought and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to improve day-to-day functioning.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to identify goals, try an approach, and adjust methods based on what the client finds most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and when to introduce new tools.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for short check-ins, between-session coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
