About Claudia

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New York. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the challenges that come with health issues or caregiving. Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps that fit everyday life.

Claudia works with people dealing with trauma, addiction, sleeping problems, intimacy concerns, and the emotional costs of long-term illness. She also supports those managing parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her approach draws on several methods to match what each person needs in the moment.

In sessions she focuses on self-discovery and building resilience. Conversations center on clear goals, new skills, and small experiments people can try between meetings. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice different ways of responding to stress and difficult emotions.

Her background includes long experience supporting caregivers, people facing aging and geriatric concerns, and those coping with chronic pain, cancer, or disability. Claudia also addresses attachment and commitment issues, body image, and communication problems in close relationships.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances steady support with concrete tools. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity about next steps. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching process to find a session time that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, chronic health challenges, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and adjusting the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a break at work. It also makes consistent weekly work more feasible for caregivers and people managing health issues, since sessions can often be slotted into the day without a commute.
