About Claudia
Claudia Stoscheck welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience and works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Claudia uses practical tools to address daily struggles like sleep disruption, anger, and communication problems.
Background and approach
She also helps with longer-term issues such as grief, addiction, caregiver stress, and attachment or abandonment concerns. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that build better routines and steadier emotional responses. Her work blends acceptance-focused methods with cognitive and mindfulness practices.
Clients can expect to notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to learn skills for responding differently. Claudia emphasizes collaboration and tailors techniques to each person’s needs and pace. Over three decades she has supported people managing chronic illness, cancer, or caregiving roles, and those coping with major life changes.
She also brings experience addressing intimacy concerns, body image, and identity-related stressors for LGBT individuals. Claudia aims to help clients regain a sense of control and clearer direction. Sessions are offered from her New York practice and delivered in English.
She frames therapy as a process of learning and steady adjustment, helping people practice new habits that fit their real lives.
Approaches that guide online healing and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and pace. The therapist listens deeply and supports self-exploration so clients can discover what they need and build confidence in their choices. This approach often helps with identity questions, relationship strain, and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the person’s goals and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice between meetings. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity over time and to use skills in everyday moments.
