She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and depression. She approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Claudette aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

Claudette uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing for each person. She works together with clients to tailor a plan that fits their situation and goals. That plan may include skills for handling strong emotions, clearer communication tools, and steps to reduce daily stress.

Her work often centers on improving how people relate to themselves and others. That can mean addressing guilt, shame, loneliness, jealousy, or problems that come up at work. Claudette also has experience with issues related to veterans and the armed forces, including post-traumatic stress.

Claudette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and learn new coping skills. Sessions emphasize practical skills you can use between meetings. Progress is measured by how well those skills fit into everyday life.

She encourages people to take small, achievable steps toward better mood and relationships. The therapeutic tone is collaborative and down-to-earth. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How CBT and DBT Guide Online Work

Claudette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that contribute to stress and low mood, and practicing new ways of responding. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness for managing intense feelings and conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to find what fits. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix of strategies will be most useful for your situation.
