About Claudia
Claudia Diaz is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. Claudia focuses on practical changes clients can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and learn new coping skills. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to look at the stories clients tell about themselves and to rewrite limiting beliefs. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented - clients talk about what is happening now and practice different ways of responding.
Claudia helps people who are dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-love and self-esteem. She also supports those coping with post-traumatic stress and social anxiety and phobia. Her work aims to clarify values and next steps rather than promise a single outcome.
In session she often teaches concrete tools for anxiety and emotion regulation, and she blends skills practice with reflective conversation. People leave with small experiments to try between sessions and ways to notice what changes and what stays the same.
She conducts therapy in English and works from a collaborative stance. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
How Claudia uses CBT, DBT and Narrative work in online sessions
Claudia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test the thoughts that keep them stuck. CBT sessions focus on clear links between thinking, feeling and doing, and include small experiments to try between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques. These tools are useful when anxiety, strong emotions, or relationship conflict get in the way of daily life. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to consider alternative storylines that fit their values more closely.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claudia will make decisions about methods collaboratively based on a person’s goals and what they respond to in early sessions. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so techniques match everyday needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
