Hi there! I’m Stephanie Claudio, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who’s passionate about partnering with adolescents, children, and young adults on their journey toward greater well-being. Whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of ADHD, wrestling with anxiety or depression, or simply trying to find your footing during life’s big changes, I’m here to offer warm, compassionate support every step of the way.
My approach is firmly grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I also weave in strength-based and solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and somatic exercises to help retrain your nervous system. I tailor each session to your unique needs—because what works for one person might not quite fit for another. Together, we’ll explore new strategies for improving emotional intelligence, boosting social skills, and building resilience.
In our first few sessions, we’ll take time to get to know each other. You can share background details however you feel most comfortable—whether that’s typing them out beforehand or diving into conversation in our session. From there, we’ll co-create clear, realistic goals and a treatment plan with milestones that feel achievable. I also offer a bit of extra support between appointments, because I know that breakthroughs don’t always happen on a strict schedule.
I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and change; sometimes we just need the right tools and a compassionate guide to help us along. If you’re ready to empower yourself to thrive, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this path. Let’s take that first step together.
