More about Claudia

- LCSW
Life can be challenging! Taking a step out of one's comfort zone to ask for help is never easy. I would love to help you asses your current situation. Together, we can then work at making changes that are positive in the present, as well as setting goals and taking action for your future. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Professional School Counselor in Texas, I have supported many individuals on their journey. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families who are struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, parenting problems, grief and/or depression.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My style combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and reality therapy, utilizing a strength based, solution focused approach.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Wonderful connection, been a pleasure working with Claudia
Claudia has changed my life and perspective on so many thing! I look forward to our session every week.
Claudia is a great person and a very knowledgeable and professional therapist. Seeing her is one of the highlights of my week, she’s played a key role in helping me feel better overall. She’s a great listener and also provides tools and references that have helped. Thank you Claudia!
Claudia is wonderful, i feel heard and understood.
Claudia is one, if not the best, human I know. I don't say that lightly. She is beyond incredible at the work she does. It takes someone special and she is that person. I cannot possibly express how much she's understood me, helped me drag myself out of a dark place, and become the most amazing mentor and cheerleader for my health. She is the person you're looking for.
Claudia has made starting therapy for the first time extremely easy and comfortable. She is very easy to talk to and comes from a place of familiarity and understanding.
She’s great

She's the best. Always responds and makes sure our session time is quality.
Love our sessions and is great to work with!!
Although I have only been working with Claudia for a few months, I have enjoyed my time with her immensely. Claudia is a warm and empathic counselor who manages to make her sessions comfortable and casual, while maintaining professional boundaries. I appreciate her sincerity and lack of judgement, as well as her years of continuing training and expertise in her field. I look forward to her sessions as I would for a conversation with a trusted colleague. I feel that she has helped me build confidence and appreciates my open-minded and self directed approach to therapy. She has taught me many valuable skills that I will use in my foundation as I continue to grow.
Claudia is a good listener, very caring and offers help and guidance to work through issues. I’ve definitely been blessed by her!
