Claudia Ravenell
Sometimes we can look like we have it all together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted inside. I’m Claudia Ravenell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia who supports adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, mood concerns, relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be connected to past experiences while developing practical tools to create meaningful change. I value culturally responsive care and recognize the importance of each client’s culture, family, identity, and lived experiences.

Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve adolescents, adults and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and other related issues. I'm passionate about helping clients reclaim their stories and make positive changes in their lives.
Origin story
I became a therapist because I’ve always been interested in understanding people - what they’ve been through, how those experiences shape them, and why we sometimes find ourselves repeating patterns that no longer serve us. I enjoy helping people make sense of what they’re experiencing and giving them practical tools they can actually use in their everyday lives. It’s rewarding to see clients recognize their strengths, gain confidence, and realize that they can make changes in their lives. Being able to support people through that process is what continues to make this work meaningful to me. Decidí ser terapeuta porque siempre me ha interesado comprender a las personas: lo que han vivido, cómo esas experiencias nos forman y por qué a veces repetimos patrones que ya no nos benefician. Me gusta ayudar a las personas a entender mejor lo que están viviendo y brindarles herramientas prácticas que puedan utilizar en su día a día. Para mí, es muy gratificante ver cómo mis clientes reconocen sus fortalezas, ganan confianza en sí mismos y descubren que tienen la capacidad de hacer cambios en sus vidas. Poder acompañarlos en ese proceso es lo que hace que este trabajo sea tan significativo para mí.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
I am trained in evidence-based trauma-focused therapies, such as TFCBT, that equips me to address trauma across different age groups; from children to older adults. My goal is to ensure a comprehensive and tailored approach to trauma treatment while also empowering individuals to heal and thrive.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Through CBT, I have developed skills in identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, implementing behavioral strategies, and facilitating problem-solving. My approach to CBT is tailored to each individual's needs and goals, emphasizing a collaborative and goal-oriented process that empowers clients to actively participate in their healing journey.
Narrative
I utilize narrative therapy as a powerful tool for helping clients explore and reshape the stories they tell about themselves and their experiences. Through collaborative conversations, we examine the narratives that have shaped their lives, identifying patterns, themes, and underlying beliefs.
