Claudia Duarte, LCSW — Therapist in Utah

Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I'm a LCSW offering a warm, nonjudgmental space for therapy. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and past experiences. Together, we'll build practical tools and self-understanding to help you feel more confident, connected, and in control.

My focus

I work with adults feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, and painful experiences. Together, we'll build insight, healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and confidence for meaningful change.

My approach

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, accepted, and supported. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I'll meet you without judgement, challenge unhelpful patterns, and help you build healthier skills and greater confidence.

My communication style

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe to be honest and fully yourself. I offer warmth, compassion, and curiosity, while providing thoughtful feedback and gentle challenging. We'll work collaboratively toward meaningful growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy grew from curiosity about people and how we grow through life's challenges. As a social worker, I saw the power of feeling truly heard while creating meaningful change. I became a therapist to support clients as they heal, grow, discover their strength, and build fulfilling lives.

My goals for you

I believe therapy should help you move beyond talking about difficulties toward meaningful change. Together, we'll clarify your goals, break them into realistic steps, and develop practical tools. We'll recognize progress, work through setbacks, and adapt as your needs change-building clarity, confidence, and lasting change.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore your goals. It's normal to feel nervous or unsure. We'll build the process together, at a comfortable pace, in a space where you feel safe, understood and supported.
