About Claudia

Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She works in California and offers care in both English and Spanish. Claudia brings 15 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through painful memories, shifting roles, and safety concerns at a manageable pace.

Background and approach

Claudia listens for how attachment and early relationships shape current patterns and uses that insight to guide change. Claudia draws on a mix of approaches that match the needs of the person in front of her.

She uses Attachment-Based ideas to address connection and trust, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions and offers trauma-informed tools when past harm affects daily life.

Sessions can include direct skills coaching, reflection on family patterns, and practical plans for coping with life transitions and caregiving stress. Claudia describes herself as collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people set clear, realistic steps and checks in on progress as therapy continues.

Her aim is to help clients feel more steady, more connected, and better able to handle life’s demands.

Online support

Attachment and action-oriented approaches for online care

Claudia commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice how early relationships shape trust and closeness. This approach focuses on understanding patterns of connection and repairing ways of relating that cause repeating problems.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters most to them and take manageable steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool for identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Claudia collaborates with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and focused.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and learning new skills, phone sessions can fit during a lunch break or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging or chat can be useful for quick check-ins or skill reminders. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit sessions into a busy life.
