How Claudia's approaches translate to online work

Claudia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Mindfulness techniques. CBT looks at how thoughts influence mood and behavior and focuses on practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. EFT centers on emotions in relationships and helps people notice and shift the interaction patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. She blends skill teaching, emotion-focused work, and mindful practices so people can try different ways of coping and pick what helps most.
