About Claudia

Claudia Diaz uses practical, goals-focused therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of experience.

Background and approach

Claudia keeps sessions straightforward so clients can make steady progress. She explains options and helps people choose what fits their life.

Claudia helps with relationship concerns and communication problems. She supports people coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame are also frequent topics in her work. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping during hard moments. Narrative Therapy is woven in to help people reframe their story and reconnect with strengths and values.

Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Claudia focuses on small, manageable steps so changes feel doable.

She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the plan when needed. People who come to Claudia often want help naming patterns and learning tools they can use between sessions.

She aims to create a steady, collaborative process so people feel supported while they work toward clearer communication, better mood, and renewed purpose.

How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online

CBT helps people notice thoughts that worsen stress and anxiety and then test and change those thoughts. It focuses on small behavioral shifts and practice that reduce worry and improve mood. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships through clear techniques and exercises. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their story in new ways, separating them from problems and highlighting strengths and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then use CBT, DBT, or Narrative Therapy as fits those goals. The plan is collaborative and may mix elements from more than one approach so it matches what the person needs and wants.

Online therapy can fit into busy lives through flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it possible to have face-to-face conversations from different locations. Phone sessions can work when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to use therapy tools consistently and to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
