About Claudia
Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices from California. Her style is straightforward and caring for people who need practical tools and steady support.
Claudia draws on 15 years of experience in mental health. She uses common-sense approaches that help clients manage mood, face trauma, and rebuild connections. Sessions focus on what is happening now and small steps that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses depression, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and problems with intimacy or communication. She also helps people dealing with grief, major life changes, and caregiver stress. Parenting and blended-family concerns are part of her regular focus.
Claudia combines several therapy methods to fit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to target unhelpful thinking.
She brings attachment-informed ideas to relationship and family issues. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through hard things and practice new skills. Claudia favors short, actionable goals and gentle accountability.
She supports clients who want clearer boundaries, better coping, and more satisfying relationships.
How Claudia’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, which can reduce stress and increase purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns to improve mood and daily functioning. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current communication and trust, which can be useful for parenting and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to share updates or practice skills between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with care.
