CLAUDIA ULWELLING , LMFT

Claudia Ulwelling earned a master’s degree in psychology in 2013 and is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She works with children, adults, and families who have decided that therapy could be a helpful source of support. Claudia emphasizes the word decide because therapy tends to be most productive when a person is ready for reflection, willing to compromise, and open to change.

Her approach is grounded in strength-based, solution-focused, and client-centered principles. Recognizing that each person’s story is unique, she draws on multiple treatment modalities to tailor care to individual needs. Claudia partners with clients throughout the counseling process, offering collaborative guidance to support healing and growth.

She values the commitment it takes to begin therapy and honors each step toward wellbeing. Claudia aims to provide a supportive environment where families and individuals can explore challenges, identify strengths, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Claudia integrates Client-Centered Therapy into her work, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach is helpful for people seeking personal growth, improved self-esteem, and stronger family connections. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - CBT can be effective for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor care and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many clients. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or care routines. These options allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from familiar environments while maintaining consistent access to support.
