Claudia Stoscheck, LCSW

Claudia Stoscheck is an LCSW with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She focuses on everyday habits and thoughts that shape how someone feels and reacts. Claudia aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through current struggles and figure out practical next steps.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions often involve noticing thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm. Claudia pays attention to relationship dynamics, caregiving strain, and issues that come from trauma or long-term stress.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults across a wide range of concerns. Claudia has helped people with grief, addictions, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and the stresses of parenting and caregiving. She also addresses identity-related issues, communication problems, and coping after major life events.

In session she emphasizes self-discovery and building resilience. Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances empathy with clear, practical strategies. The work often blends gentle reflection with concrete exercises to change unhelpful habits.

Claudia practices in New York and offers guidance grounded in real-world experience. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based tools to help people make steady, workable changes.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to improve mood and daily functioning. It often helps with stress, sleeping problems, and managing anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which supports coping with ongoing stress and trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most practical for each person. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan when needed so the approach fits day-to-day life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also offers continuity when someone is managing caregiving, health issues, or frequent life changes. Licensed professionals tailor online sessions to focus on thought patterns, everyday habits, and concrete skills that can be practiced between meetings.
