About Claudia
Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She works in California and offers care in English and Spanish. Claudia focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She takes a warm, nonjudgmental approach and meets clients where they are. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice what matters to them and build small habits that align with those values.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools rather than jargon so people can apply them between sessions. Claudia draws on several evidence-informed ways of working, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Those approaches guide how she helps people manage worry, address patterns in relationships, and handle big changes.
She adapts techniques to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. With 15 years of experience as an LCSW, Claudia has supported people through grief, trauma, parenting stress, career shifts, and issues like addiction and bipolar mood concerns. She also helps with attachment and abandonment wounds, blended-family challenges, and caregiving strain.
Her sessions tend to balance practical skills with attention to emotional safety. Claudia encourages collaboration in therapy. Clients set goals together with her, and progress is reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant and helpful.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small action toward those values even when worry or difficult feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it can reduce persistent worry and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and trust, which can ease recurring relationship and intimacy problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. She starts with the client’s priorities, checks in about what’s helpful, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is good for in-depth conversation and teaching new skills. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, on-the-go support and tracking between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with regular appointments.
