About Claudia

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. Claudia offers calm, steady support for those coping with illness, caregiving strain, addiction, or relationship and intimacy concerns.

She works in a direct, compassionate way that focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions aim to clarify goals, build everyday coping skills, and reduce overwhelming thoughts or feelings. Claudia draws on practical tools to address sleep problems, anger, and communication difficulties.

Her background includes long experience supporting people through end-of-life and hospice-related concerns, caregiver stress, and chronic illness. She combines talk-based methods with mindfulness and skill-building to ease daily burdens and improve emotional balance. Claudia also attends to issues like body image, abandonment, and commitment worries when they come up.

Claudia uses several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on developing simpler routines, clearer boundaries, and more workable choices in hard moments.

People who want steady, experienced support through loss, major transitions, or ongoing health and caregiving challenges often find her approach helpful. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life while learning to sit with difficult emotions. It can help with grief, caregiving fatigue, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits, teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical techniques for regulating strong emotions and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and mindful communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques are most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people maintain continuity of care during major life changes or medical treatment, while using methods like ACT, CBT, and DBT to address grief, caregiver stress, and anxiety in practical ways.
