William E. Claude is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California who has been practicing since 2007. He has a Master of Social Work from San Diego State University and a Bachelor of Art Social Work from California State University Sacramento. William’s therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Valued based treatment, Strength Based approach, Motivational Interviewing, and a person-centered framework. These techniques are tailored to help his clients reach specific needs with the aim of developing greater awareness and self-acceptance.

William believes that these techniques are essential components for establishing a therapeutic relationship by meeting his clients where they are and working collaboratively to help them find healing, transformation, and wellbeing. William works with individuals who struggle with depression and mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, or who find themselves needing extra support. William views every client that he works with as unique and who deserves a unique approach.

When he’s not working, William enjoys exercising, mountain biking, going to the beach, traveling, attending sporting events, and spending time with his significant other.
