About Kamala
Kamala Young-Claudio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship struggles, grief and loss, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her profile also notes experience with blended family issues and other family and caregiving stresses.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. Conversations center on the concerns you bring and on practical steps that can help. She adapts her approach to fit the problem at hand rather than following one fixed method.
Her practice draws on several well-known therapy approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding together. Psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas are used when past experiences or traumatic events are shaping current reactions.
Kamala has worked with caregivers, people facing illness and end-of-life concerns, and those managing separation and divorce. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Sessions are practical and aim to address what is happening now.
She asks new clients to use the platform process to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. That initial session is used to set goals and decide which approaches will be most useful going forward.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a shared understanding of what matters to you. It helps when someone needs a steady, collaborative listener to sort through relationship strain or caregiving stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavior changes, which can help with low mood, anxiety, and practical day-to-day challenges.
Kamala treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and immediate needs, checking in and adjusting as work progresses.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, mention that on the matching questionnaire so it can be addressed when scheduling.
