About Claudia

Claudia Jimenez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes, and lists blended family issues among her focus areas. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Claudia uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what matters most to them and to find practical steps forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action. Solution-Focused techniques are used to build on what already works.

Her background centers on supporting people through loss, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and caregiving stress. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating struggles, anger, and career-related stress. Additional topics she lists include attachment issues, codependency, and blended family issues that come up when households merge.

Claudia frames sessions as collaborative conversations. She helps clients set short-term goals and tracks progress across sessions. When needed she uses motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change and to strengthen commitment to new habits.

Practical matters such as session scheduling, subscription-based billing that can be canceled at any time, and how to start are handled through the site. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.

She does not accept international clients. This profile describes areas Claudia lists and the clinical approaches she uses; confirm current session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches to use in online sessions

Claudia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with motivation and coping during family transitions. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps build practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia treats choosing methods as a collaborative process. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which approaches to try, adjusting plans as sessions progress.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because they are not listed here. The site’s booking process will show current options and the subscription-based payment setup. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy household schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to care for children or other responsibilities.
