About Claudia

Claudia Stoscheck is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps and steady support so clients can manage difficult feelings and get unstuck. Claudia aims to create an approachable space where people can name what matters and start making changes that feel possible.

She draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor work to each person’s needs. Sessions often include skills practice for handling strong emotions, ways to break down overwhelming problems, and exercises that clarify values and goals. Claudia pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and daily life, and she works with clients to build new responses.

Her background centers on supporting caregivers and women through major life changes, as well as helping people recover from trauma and abuse. Claudia also addresses concerns around parenting, grief, substance use, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She brings steady clinical experience to complex situations without using clinical jargon.

Clients can expect a collaborative, person-focused rhythm in sessions. The therapist listens, reflects, and offers practical tools people can try between meetings. Over time the work aims to increase coping, clarity, and a stronger sense of agency.

Claudia practices in New York as an LCSW and works with adults on a range of life and mental health concerns, including issues related to narcissism among other relationship dynamics.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients name what matters and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance. The therapist follows the person's pace and helps them explore thoughts and feelings without pressure, which can be useful for people healing from trauma or working through relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss options and adapt methods based on a client's goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to try and how to pace the work.

If you prefer online care, check the session options before booking to confirm what formats are currently offered. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting sessions into busy schedules, doing shorter check-ins, or choosing a setup that reduces travel time. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, run structured exercises, and keep momentum between meetings.
