About Claudia
Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Claudia works in English and Spanish and is based in California.
With 15 years in the mental health field, Claudia brings steady experience to common life challenges. She favors straightforward conversations that name what’s hard and identify small changes that make a difference.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice, goal-setting, and time to process painful memories when needed. Her work draws on several well-known approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take action toward them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches tools to change unhelpful habits. Attachment-based ideas guide exploration of how early relationships still affect current bonds. Claudia says therapy is collaborative - she partners with each person to figure out what helps most.
She pays attention to trauma history and the ways it shows up now, while also supporting practical life changes like parenting, career shifts, or managing mood swings. People come to her for a mix of concerns, including depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, family problems, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is adaptive: she matches the method to the issue and the person rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps forward. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety or life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises. CBT is often chosen for mood, anxiety, and attention-related struggles where concrete tools are helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Claudia works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts plans as clients learn what helps and what doesn’t, so the process stays responsive to real needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions for deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or shorter coaching-style support. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping care consistent.
