About Claudia

Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 15 years of experience to conversations about parenting, career concerns, addiction, ADHD, and self-esteem. Claudia writes plainly, listens closely, and supports people as they make practical changes in everyday life.

Claudia uses a trauma-aware approach that keeps the client's pace in mind. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen how people connect with themselves and others. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are a focus.

Claudia adapts tools to fit the person rather than forcing a single method. Sessions may include talking through recent events, practicing new ways of coping, and setting achievable goals between meetings. Claudia helps people tackle family conflict, communication problems, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family stress, and caregiver strain in straightforward ways.

Claudia trained at California State University, Chico and holds a California LCSW. She works with people via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and does not take international clients. The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In sessions this looks like noticing patterns together, practicing new responses, and setting small homework tasks to test changes between meetings.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people get clear about what they value and take steps toward those goals even when feelings are hard. This approach fits concerns like anxiety, life transitions, and low motivation.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend ways to proceed that match those needs. Adjustments are made as work unfolds so the plan stays useful.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more adaptable to busy lives. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps track progress and prompts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or other commitments.
