About Stephanie
Stephanie Claudio is an LISW and LCSW practicing in Texas with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Stephanie works with young adults, children and adolescents ages 6-17, and people navigating adoption and foster care issues.
Stephanie uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She helps clients build healthier communication patterns and manage strong emotions like guilt and shame. Sessions include talking through immediate problems and trying concrete skills between meetings.
She pays attention to how early family patterns and attachment shape current behavior. That perspective guides work on family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems. Stephanie also supports people facing divorce, separation, or fertility and parenting stressors.
When impulsivity, obsessive thinking, or attention differences are part of the problem, she combines skill-based strategies with problem-focused conversation. That can include checking how thoughts affect actions and practicing alternative responses in everyday situations.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps clients set small, achievable goals and track progress. People who want organized, step-by-step work on relationships, parenting, or attention-related struggles often find this approach helpful.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work in Online Sessions
Stephanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems alive and to practice new behaviors that change outcomes. CBT focuses on concrete steps - noticing thoughts, testing them, and trying alternative actions that fit daily life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT emphasizes willingness to experience hard emotions while acting in ways that align with personal goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy appears in work that looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current communication and trust. That approach is useful for people dealing with family of origin issues, adoption and foster care questions, or repetitive relationship problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and the practical demands of daily life. Together they decide which skills to practice between sessions and how to measure progress.
