About Claudia

Claudia Cardona is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family difficulties. She works with clients on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related struggles. Claudia speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas as an LPC.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are tailored to each person - Claudia listens first, then helps set clear, doable goals.

Background and approach

Claudia draws on ten years of experience in counseling. She has supported people through communication problems, divorce and separation, family problems, and issues common to young adults. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and ongoing work with mood concerns.

In sessions she aims to be respectful and compassionate. Conversations are shaped to fit the client’s needs and pace. She helps people try small changes that can make daily life feel less overwhelming.

For those who prefer online options, Claudia offers several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She uses a subscription model that clients may cancel at any time and scheduling is arranged after completing a brief matching questionnaire.

CBT-informed online care for family and life challenges

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT often includes setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking what works in daily life. It can be especially useful for managing mood, worry, and problems that affect family interactions.

She takes a collaborative approach to find the best fit for each person. Together the client and therapist review concerns, goals, and preferences and then choose which tools and methods to try. That process can include adapting techniques to work well over video, phone, chat, or text.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility for busy families and people with changing schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when needed, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide alternatives for shorter check-ins or times when video is not convenient. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to apply strategies in real life between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
