About Claudia

Claudia Stoscheck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and caring, aimed at helping clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Claudia focuses on practical skills and emotional understanding. She listens to each person's story and works with them to set realistic goals. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, learning new coping strategies, and building steps toward change.

Her work includes support for caregiver stress, issues that come with aging and geriatric concerns, recovery from trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to chronic illness or pain. Claudia also addresses intimacy-related problems, addiction, and workplace or compassion fatigue concerns. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand.

Over three decades she has developed a calm, patient style that centers the client. She helps people explore values, manage emotions, and practice skills between sessions. The goal is to help clients gain tools they can use in daily life.

Claudia sees therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people clarify what matters to them, breaks larger goals into manageable steps, and adjusts methods as progress is made. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or stress problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and aims to build understanding and self-directed growth through empathic listening and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques are adjusted as needs change over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it possible to meet from different locations. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life transitions and connect with a licensed professional from where they already spend their day.
