Stephanie Claudio, LISW, LCSW

Stephanie Claudio is a licensed social worker in Texas who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape daily life. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD-related difficulties. Stephanie uses clear, practical conversation to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build useful habits. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she addresses communication and family-of-origin patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are available for emotion regulation and impulse control.

Stephanie has four years of experience working with young adults and with children and adolescents ages 6 to 17. She also has experience supporting people involved in adoption and foster care processes, and those dealing with infertility, divorce, or separation. Her work includes attention to obsessive or compulsive thinking, codependency, and struggles with guilt or forgiveness.

Sessions focus on learning practical strategies and practicing them between meetings. She prioritizes listening first, then helping people set small, achievable goals. Clients looking for help with communication problems, attachment issues, or parenting strain will find concrete tools and step-by-step plans.

Stephanie is licensed as an LISW in Ohio and an LCSW in Texas and offers services in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How ACT, CBT, and attachment work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when worry or rigid thinking get in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and obsessive thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current communication and trust. It helps people improve how they connect and set boundaries in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove the need to travel. It also lets people practice skills in the places they live and then bring observations back to the session for real-time problem solving.
