Stephanie Claudio

Stephanie Claudio is a licensed clinical social worker who uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related struggles. She holds the LISW and LCSW credentials and works from a practical, approachable stance. Stephanie aims to make sessions feel calm and focused rather than overwhelming.

Her work emphasizes clearer communication and healthier emotional responses. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, like impulsivity or obsessive thinking, and then practices new ways of reacting. Sessions often include simple mindfulness exercises and skill-building tied to everyday life.

Stephanie has four years of clinical experience and supports young adults, children and adolescents ages 6-17, and individuals involved in adoption and foster care work. She also addresses attachment difficulties, family of origin issues, and common family problems without assuming one single solution fits everyone.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. That mix lets her match tools to each person’s situation and goals. The focus is on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Sessions are grounded in achievable goals like improving communication, reducing shame, or managing compulsive thoughts. Stephanie invites people to practice new skills in their daily lives and reevaluate what is and isn’t working. She aims to support steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Stephanie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises that reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. It can help people with anxiety, stress, and compulsive thinking learn to step back from intense emotions and respond more intentionally.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines acceptance of difficult thoughts with action that aligns with personal values. It supports people who feel stuck by helping them commit to small, meaningful steps even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and aims to improve connection and communication in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, whether the focus is emotional regulation, family dynamics, parenting, or ADHD-related challenges. That choice can change as needs evolve during therapy.
