How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online
Claudia combines cognitive behavioral work with narrative and mindfulness tools to address everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in behavior, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and seeks new meanings that free them from limiting patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase clarity, supporting better rest and emotional balance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help clients decide which tools to try based on their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. She often mixes techniques to suit what feels most useful in the moment and over time.
