About Claudia

Claudia Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on fifteen years of practice in California to support practical change and emotional healing. Claudia aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth.

She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small, realistic goals. Parents often appreciate that she uses plain language and concrete strategies they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Her work blends insight-focused approaches with skills-based tools. Claudia uses Jungian ideas to pay attention to symbols and meaning, and she pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action, while attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships.

Claudia describes her style as empathetic and nonjudgmental. She encourages clients to take an active role in their own healing and focuses on building practical coping skills. Sessions can address trauma, addiction, parenting stress, career concerns, and problems with communication or commitment.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace and flexible problem-solving. Claudia balances short-term coping strategies with deeper exploration of patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. She helps people move from feeling stuck to making changes that fit their daily lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Claudia blends Jungian Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that aim to balance insight and action. Jungian-informed work pays attention to symbols, dreams, and personal meaning to help people understand recurring patterns in their life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist decide which methods fit the client’s needs and goals, adjusting the plan over time. That means sessions can move between deeper exploration of life themes and practical skill-building when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports quick coaching or reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage follow-up between sessions, and keep momentum on concrete goals.
