About Claudia
Claudia Clarke is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Claudia also supports people dealing with guilt and shame alongside related concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, and isolation.
Claudia focuses on practical conversations that help people make sense of what they are facing. Sessions cover how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships influence mood and choices. She uses straightforward strategies so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
People come to her when impulses, obsessive habits, or problems with money and mood start to feel overwhelming. She also addresses relationship patterns, forgiveness, and challenges that arise in midlife or during caregiving roles. Work with addictions and compulsive behaviors is part of her practice.
Claudia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients name the specific problems, test small changes, and track what works. Conversations aim to reduce the weight of shame and clarify steps toward clearer decision making.
Her style is direct and respectful. She pays attention to cultural and personal background and helps people weigh options that fit their daily life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a first session is scheduled via the site.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Claudia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building healthier behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches look at thoughts and beliefs that keep guilt or shame active, helping people test and revise those thoughts. Behavioral techniques focus on small experiments and practical steps to reduce avoidance and compulsive actions, which can ease anxiety and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia reviews a client's situation, goals, and preferences and then recommends methods to try. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful, so the process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try interventions in the contexts where their problems occur, making it practical to test changes between sessions.
