02 · In Claudia's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and CBT-trained clinician dedicated to providing a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for clients to feel understood and empowered. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that each person’s experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I work alongside clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships while developing practical skills to manage challenges and improve overall well-being.
I specialize in supporting young adults, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals as they work through self-esteem concerns, communication difficulties, isolation, and identity questions. I'm particularly skilled at addressing panic attacks, social anxiety, body image concerns, attachment patterns, and the weight of guilt and shame. I also support clients navigating workplace stress, family conflicts, caregiver responsibilities, and major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you feel truly seen and valued. I believe in meeting you where you are-without judgment-and collaborating with you to explore what's holding you back and what might help you move forward. Whether you're seeking clarity on your life's direction, healing from past hurts, or simply wanting to feel more at peace, I'm here to walk alongside you.
I draw on evidence-based practices to support your growth at your own pace, honoring your unique perspective and experiences. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm genuinely honored to be part of your journey.

03 · What happens next
Claudia practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Claudia's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Claudia at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Claudia is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Claudia.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
