Claudette aims to create a steady, practical routine in therapy. She encourages small, doable steps toward better self-care and self-love. People who come to her often leave with clearer coping skills and more confidence handling difficult moments.

How CBT and DBT fit into online therapy

Claudette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions usually focus on clear goals, practical exercises, and homework that helps people try new ways of coping between meetings.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday challenges to choose which strategies to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve.

Session formats were not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT drills to remote sessions so skills are practiced and reviewed in ways that fit daily life.
