About CLAUDIA
CLAUDIA ULWELLING is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who offers supportive, collaborative care for people seeking change and relief.
Background and approach
With eight years of clinical experience and a master's degree in psychology earned in 2013, she emphasizes readiness and active participation, noting that therapy tends to be most effective when clients are prepared for reflection, compromise, and constructive change. Claudia draws on a mix of methods to fit each person’s story rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Her practice blends strength-based and solution-focused perspectives with client-centered values, so sessions center on clients’ goals while identifying practical steps forward. Claudia combines cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative exploration, and other modalities as needed to help clients build coping skills, address stress and anxiety, navigate grief or relationship concerns, and work through trauma and parenting challenges.
She collaborates closely with people throughout the process to tailor interventions and support progress toward their priorities.
How Claudia’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Claudia commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for each person’s perspective and builds a collaborative, empathic relationship that supports personal growth and decision making.She views finding the right approach as a shared process and will work with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that can evolve as progress and challenges emerge, and clients are encouraged to give feedback so the approach stays aligned with their needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities, and they allow clients to engage in therapy in formats that feel most accessible and practical for their lives.
