Claudia Lefort

Claudia Lefort is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT issues, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career questions, and bipolar disorder. Claudia lists life purpose, caregiver stress, and self-love as additional areas of focus.

She works in a solution-focused way, aiming for short-term work when people come with a specific goal or a crisis that needs attention. Early sessions focus on hearing what brought someone to therapy and what they want to change. She asks clients to be active participants and often provides reading or practical strategies to use between sessions.

Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. That means sessions often include looking at patterns of thought, practicing present-moment awareness, clarifying motivations, and setting small, workable goals. She also considers cultural and environmental background when helping people move forward.

Her approach involves clear feedback and accountability so people can build confidence as they test new behaviors. She may offer techniques and reading materials tailored to the focus of treatment. This practical style is intended to help people manage emotions and improve daily functioning.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions operate under a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a reader is asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Claudia Uses Practical Approaches in Online Sessions

Claudia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy builds attention to the present moment and offers simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and to strengthen motivation for change. That approach is conversational and helps people resolve mixed feelings and set achievable steps toward their goals. Deciding which mix of methods will be most useful is treated as a collaborative process between therapist and client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. She may suggest short-term, goal-focused work or continue longer depending on what you want to accomplish.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical advantages help people keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday responsibilities.
