About Claudia
Claudia Miles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 24 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, family conflict, and depression. Claudia speaks English and practices from a perspective that centers straightforward conversation and practical steps.
She focuses on breaking down problems into manageable parts. Sessions often start with what feels most urgent - sleep, mood, cravings, or arguments - and move toward clearer patterns and short-term goals. Claudia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change behaviors and reactions that keep them stuck.
Claudia’s work includes helping people navigate family of origin issues, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, and codependency. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, body image, eating-related concerns, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. Her background supports a range of interpersonal and emotional challenges that commonly show up in early adulthood.
Her style is direct and respectful. She aims to make sessions practical, with steps you can try between meetings. Conversations will look at patterns, communication, and choices so clients can make clearer decisions about work, relationships, and personal habits.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Claudia’s sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Claudia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and clearer communication. One common approach she relies on looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to help reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms by practicing new responses in everyday situations. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and interaction patterns so relationship and family conflicts become easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will review your situation, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that match what you want to change. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you try methods and report back on what helps.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so therapy can be easier to maintain around school or a first job. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm what formats Claudia offers before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in during a lunch break, have a shorter telephone check-in, or use a video meeting when a longer conversation is needed.
