Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Claudia blends methods that fit relationship and individual needs. The Gottman Method focuses on identifying communication patterns and building practical interaction skills to reduce conflict and increase connection in partnerships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions aligned with those values, which can ease avoidance and build toward meaningful goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will work with each client to review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works best for the person and their relationships.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another and work through interactional exercises. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or scheduling makes video difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style feedback, or ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into work, parenting, and other daily demands.
