About Claudia
Claudia Stoscheck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, grief, and issues around intimacy and addiction.
Claudia uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and then offers practical steps to try between sessions. Sessions aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning rather than focus on labels or tests.
Her background includes long experience supporting caregivers and people facing midlife transitions. She also works with those dealing with chronic illness, body image concerns, and the emotional effects of major life changes. Claudia brings a focus on communication, boundaries, and coping skills to these areas.
Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches shape how she helps people notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and take small steps toward values-based goals.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Claudia often mixes skill-building with reflective talk work. She encourages short experiments between meetings to test what helps and what does not. This keeps therapy grounded in everyday life.
How sessions work
How Claudia uses specific approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and connect actions to what matters to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making value-based choices when life feels confusing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and managing everyday mood shifts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for handling intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It can help when anger, overwhelm, or impulsive behaviors make daily life harder.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. This may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, DBT, or client-centered work so sessions match what the person needs.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and use written exercises between meetings. Many people find it simpler to fit sessions into busy days while still working on communication, coping skills, and parenting-related stress.
