Claudia Young, LCSW

Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. Claudia speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

Claudia focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can reflect and take action. She uses familiar, hands-on techniques so people can try ideas between sessions. Her work often addresses self-esteem, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and coping after disruptions like separation or loss.

Her background includes a Master’s degree from California State University, Chico and many years in community mental health and clinical settings. Claudia draws on a range of approaches, choosing tools that fit each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

In sessions she emphasizes clarity and collaboration. Conversations can include practical skill-building, values clarification, and ways to handle difficult emotions. Claudia also pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships affect current choices.

People who come to Claudia often want help managing big transitions, repairing important relationships, or finding steadier routines. She frames goals in clear steps and checks in on progress over time. To get started, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and schedule according to availability.

How therapy styles guide remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking action toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with midlife shifts, career change, and finding direction during transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and close relationships, and it can be useful for intimacy and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia treats the choice of method as collaborative and experimental. She will talk with each person about goals and try strategies that fit their needs, checking in and adjusting as progress is tracked.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since current options are listed during the scheduling flow. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and letting people use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to access sessions in English or Spanish without changing clinicians.
