About Claudia
Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and money-related pressures. She works with individuals to build coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate big life changes. Claudia offers straightforward support for problems like depression, parenting strain, and addiction concerns.
Claudia draws on 15 years of experience in California mental health settings. She centers sessions on each person’s goals and pace. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on noticing patterns that get in the way of feeling steady.
Her work blends several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports choosing actions that match personal values even when feelings are painful. Attachment-Based ideas guide work around connection, trust, and relationship patterns.
Claudia uses trauma-informed methods when needed and can include EMDR elements for processing difficult memories. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered methods to keep sessions collaborative. These tools are adapted to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Claudia asks people to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. The questionnaire and scheduling help match goals with the right plan for care.
