Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and the everyday pressure of parenting and caregiving. Her work is also relevant for people coping with trauma, addictions, sleep problems, intimacy concerns, and the stress of life changes.

Claudia makes room for each person's story and focuses on practical next steps. Sessions are aimed at understanding patterns, shifting unhelpful habits, and building skills to manage strong emotions. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, and the needs of caregivers and older adults.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness. That mix is used to help people notice what matters, try new behaviors, and tolerate difficult feelings without being overwhelmed. Claudia also works with people on body image, chronic illness, and commitment or control issues.

Claudia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals and practices to use between sessions. With experience in trauma recovery and compassion fatigue, she supports clients who need steady pacing and practical coping tools.

Located in New York, she brings long-standing clinical judgment to everyday struggles. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation, concrete strategies, and attention to personal values and life demands.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are intense. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and commitment or control issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for stress, sleep problems, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to notice moments without immediate reaction and supports emotion regulation and coping with chronic pain or grief.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. They will try practical exercises together and adjust based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules because they remove travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and options that reduce the need for being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to online settings so skills can be practiced between meetings.
