About Claudia

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people through stressful life changes. She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and sleeping problems. Claudia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives.

She listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes sessions around those priorities. Claudia uses a mix of talk, skills practice, and mindfulness to help people manage stress and improve day-to-day functioning. She pays attention to how caregiving roles, work pressure, or health challenges affect emotions and routines.

Claudia often helps clients sort out communication problems and commitment or intimacy worries. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, chronic health issues, and trauma responses. Her approach includes tools to reduce overwhelm and to rebuild regular sleep and rest patterns where those have been disrupted.

Sessions concentrate on doable steps rather than long lectures. Claudia works with clients to test new habits, notice what helps, and adjust plans as life changes. She encourages small experiments that can change stress levels and improve sleep over time.

Her practice blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness-based work with a client-centered stance. This mix helps people uncover values, learn concrete coping skills, and return to meaningful routines. Claudia practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which often helps with sleep problems, stress, and mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer evenings and better rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques as needs change so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or allow sessions without travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during life transitions and let them practice new habits at home or between activities.
