Claudia Floresdevalgaz

I'm Claudia, a bilingual faith-based LMHC with 11 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, depression, panic, and the weight of unprocessed trauma. As a therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I welcome all clients ready to engage in the journey of healing.

I've worked with people navigating immigration stress, family pressure, generational trauma, grief, and burnout — often all at once. My approach is faith-centric, compassionate and culturally grounded. I'm here to walk with you through this time, understand what you're carrying and help you figure out what to do with it. I'm not here to simply hand you worksheets and generic advice.

I see clients via telehealth throughout New York, so wherever you are in the state, support is accessible.

I primarily use CBT, REBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy integrated with Christian faith-based principles— which means our work together is structured, practical, and focused on real change. I also draw on trauma-focused approaches for clients who need to process difficult past experiences.

I believe that insight without action doesn't go very far. We'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, build concrete skills to manage anxiety and emotional intensity, and start moving toward the version of your life you actually want. I bring warmth and guidance into every session — I'll be honest with you, and I expect the same from you.

Expect to feel heard, not evaluated. In our first session, I'll ask questions to understand what's bringing you in, what's been going on in your life, and what you're hoping to change. You don't need to arrive with a clear answer — just a willingness to start.

By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer picture of what we'll work on together and how. Sessions are 45–50 minutes, conducted via telehealth, and available in English or Spanish — whichever feels most like you.
