About Claudia
Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Her tone is steady and direct, aimed at people who need practical support during hard transitions.
Claudia draws on clear, hands-on methods to help clients manage symptoms and regain control. Sessions focus on everyday skills - breathing and grounding, spotting unhelpful thoughts, building routines, and improving communication.
Background and approach
She uses those tools to make day-to-day life feel less chaotic. Her approach balances acceptance and action. Clients reflect on values and what matters to them.
They then try small experiments and concrete steps to align behavior with those values. This blend helps with worry, low mood, and problems that recur over time. Claudia has long experience supporting people through relationship strain, caregiver stress, and trauma recovery.
She also helps clients with intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, and coping with major life changes. Her work often includes coaching-style guidance when clients want practical plans. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her New York practice.
Claudia uses a collaborative style - she listens, offers clear options, and adjusts methods to fit each person. For someone looking for steady, experienced help through parenting stress or other pressures, she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-based steps. It helps with persistent worry, low mood, and parenting choices by linking short experiments to daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, try methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Claudia emphasizes working together to match methods to goals rather than prescribing a single technique from the start.
Online therapy through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes scheduling easier and fits different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship or communication work. Phone sessions can be less bandwidth intensive and work well for check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it practical to continue therapy during busy weeks or when travel is required.
