About Claudia
Claudia Diaz is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works primarily with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Claudia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy to shape her work. She uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that change how clients feel and act. DBT skills are used to manage strong emotions and build coping routines that reduce crisis moments.
Narrative Therapy helps clients examine the stories they tell about themselves and try different ways of describing their lives. That approach is useful for overcoming shame, rebuilding self-worth, and untangling painful memories tied to post-traumatic stress. Claudia emphasizes concrete tools rather than abstract theory during sessions.
Her practice also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s experience guides which techniques are used. Practical skill-building and short-term strategies are balanced with exploring personal meaning.
To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location. International clients are not currently accepted.

Approach options and what online sessions involve
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and to improve daily functioning.DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when people need steady ways to reduce crisis moments and improve emotion regulation.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. It helps separate a person from a problem and explore alternative narratives that support self-worth and recovery from shame or trauma.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then recommend which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust techniques as needed to fit goals and lifestyle.
The original biography did not list specific session formats. Confirm which formats are offered before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins without a long commute. It can also make it simpler to use written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, and step-by-step skill practice during a session.
