About CLAUDIA
CLAUDIA ULWELLING is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who aims to help parents and individuals who have decided they want support. She writes plainly about readiness for reflection and change, and she encourages people to come when they feel prepared to try new ways of coping. She draws on a mix of practical approaches to match each person’s situation.
Sessions focus on identifying strengths and concrete steps parents can try at home.
Background and approach
Claudia emphasizes collaboration and keeps the conversation grounded and solution-oriented. Claudia earned a master’s degree in psychology and has practiced for eight years as an LMFT in California. Her background includes working with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
She combines evidence-informed methods to help people manage life transitions and relationship strain. In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to listen and validate each person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people shift unhelpful thoughts and build new behavior patterns.
Mindfulness tools support calmer responses to stress and improve emotional awareness. Claudia also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods to reframe difficult stories and set achievable goals. Parents often leave sessions with concrete ideas to try between meetings.
Her approach is straightforward: notice what’s working, try small changes, and adjust the plan together.

Therapeutic approaches that adapt well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps parents and individuals clarify goals and feel heard while deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve parenting responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a client’s needs and daily routine.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues and practice interactions in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when low bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, brief updates, or staying engaged between longer sessions.
