About Claudia
Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She is based in New York and offers practical, down-to-earth guidance for everyday problems. Claudia speaks English and draws on long experience to keep sessions focused and useful for busy lives.
Her approach begins with listening to what matters most to each person. She uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and handling difficult conversations. Claudia blends several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space.
Claudia applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when someone needs help managing intense emotions and building better coping strategies. Her style is practical, compassionate, and focused on small changes that add up. Claudia has worked with a wide range of life challenges across her career, including trauma and caregiver stress.
Her license is NY LCSW 080166. For parents and others juggling many demands, she aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to real life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Claudia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behaviors.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions respectful and focused on each person's priorities. Finding the best approach is collaborative - Claudia will talk with clients about goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, continue work during changes, and check in between appointments when helpful. The formats support regular practice of skills and steady progress toward the goals set in therapy.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
