About Stephanie

Stephanie Claudio is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, and ADHD-related challenges. Stephanie also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports those coping with attachment issues and family-of-origin patterns.

She uses practical talk and skills rather than jargon. She helps people notice how they respond under stress, name painful feelings like guilt or shame, and try new ways of communicating. Sessions often include straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness practices to manage worrying thoughts and strong emotions.

Stephanie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shaped current patterns. That can mean tracing how family expectations, adoption or foster care experiences, or past hurts influence present relationships. She works with people to recognize repeating patterns and to set clearer boundaries with others.

Her style also incorporates elements of acceptance and commitment work and dialectical behavior techniques to build distress tolerance and values-based choices. She supports parents and young adults navigating transitions and complex family dynamics. Stephanie aims to help people make concrete changes that fit their daily lives.

Clients who prefer plain language and practical steps find her approach direct and focused. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform before booking.

How sessions work

How her therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. Online sessions can use ACT to clarify values and set small, practical steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing automatic thoughts and trying behavioral experiments. CBT works well online for learning specific skills and practicing new responses between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins around work or parenting. Some formats also let people focus on skills practice or brief coaching-style check-ins when they need them. Ask about specific session types and scheduling when you complete the platform questionnaire to match your needs and daily routine.
