Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I am Claudia Abell, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is to focus on the needs of my clients, to build on their strengths and support them where they are.

My approach

The theoretical approaches that I mainly use are cognitive behavioral therapy, brief solution focused therapy, and strengths-based therapy, as well as grief therapy.

My focus

I see clients from all walks of life and all ages. I have seen clients from 5 years of age up to 80 years old. I am most comfortable treating clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and mental health issues.

My communication style

My office is cozy and quiet. I strive to get to know my clients and encourage them to be themselves. Our work together will be based on mutual respect and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

My love for and need to help others attracted me to becoming a therapist. I am passionate about guiding clients as they journey toward healing and happiness. Knowing that I can play a small part in someone's healing is a joy to me.

My goals for you

My clients will decide what their goals will be based on the needs that they bring up in session.

My first session with you

I will strive to have my clients feel comfortable and that they can trust me. We will need to complete some paperwork so that I can learn more about their needs, what has brought them into counseling and their past experiences.
