About Stephanie
Stephanie Claudio is an LISW and LCSW practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Her work also addresses guilt and shame when those feelings linger from family, faith, or past choices.
She helps people build clearer ways to communicate. She practices approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on concrete skills, emotion regulation, and small steps that fit into daily life.
Stephanie pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin patterns that keep problems repeating. She supports individuals dealing with adoption and foster care experiences, attachment issues, and the effects of family problems. She also works with people who face infertility, separation, codependency, or obsessions and compulsions.
Her work with young adults and adolescents emphasizes practical strategies for impulse control, routine, and relationship skills. She supports parents wrestling with the strain of raising children and the communication problems that follow.
In sessions she addresses guilt, shame, and forgiveness in straightforward ways. Conversations aim to clarify what happened, what matters now, and which actions might move someone forward. The focus is on immediate, usable steps rather than abstract explanations.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help when guilt or shame makes someone avoid necessary steps or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep anxiety, obsessions, or low self-esteem active. It uses concrete exercises and homework to shift everyday reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and see what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying skills, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving by saving travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone choices to match comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals generally use online work to keep therapy practical and to help skills transfer into everyday routines.
