About Claudia
Claudia Lefort is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions. Claudia also addresses issues such as addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Claudia favors a solution-focused approach that emphasizes clear goals and practical steps. Early sessions focus on what brought the person to therapy and what they want to change. She asks clients to take an active role and often suggests reading or specific strategies to practice between meetings.
Her sessions look to change thinking and behavior so clients can function more effectively day to day. Claudia checks on progress and asks clients to try techniques that build confidence and problem-solving skills. She pays attention to cultural and environmental background as part of understanding each person’s situation.
Claudia describes her style as direct and honest while remaining approachable. She aims to help people develop clearer self-reflection and stronger, more positive ways of seeing themselves and their surroundings. That practical emphasis suits people seeking short-term, goal-oriented support.
Sessions are conducted in English and Claudia does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work
How Claudia uses practical approaches in online sessions
Claudia works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways people can use day to day. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces specific techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking. It can help with anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan, combining practical exercises, short-term goals, and homework when it helps the person move forward.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions are often chosen because they can fit into busy days, cut travel time, and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments when sessions match their daily schedule and energy levels.
