About Claudia

Claudia Carballal-Benaglio uses cognitive behavioral methods as the starting point for most sessions. She names patterns in thinking and behavior, then works with clients to try new responses. Claudia is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas and offering services in English and Spanish.

She blends CBT with narrative and attachment-based ideas to help people make sense of hard experiences. That can mean looking at stories someone tells about themselves, or tracing how relationships shaped current reactions.

Background and approach

Claudia also brings mindfulness into sessions to help with anxiety and stress management. People often come when they're at a crossroads, facing relationship conflict, or coping with family strain. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, mood concerns, and questions about identity and intimacy.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Claudia has three years of clinical experience as an LPC in Texas. Before clinical work she spent time in roles that involved negotiation and listening skills, which she uses when helping couples and families clarify issues and next steps.

Her bilingual ability allows her to offer therapy in Spanish for Spanish-speaking clients. In the room she aims for straightforward conversation, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving. Sessions may include thought‑work, small experiments, narrative reflection, or grounding practices.

She guides clients toward workable changes rather than abstract ideas.

Online therapy using CBT and attachment-informed care

Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and teaching concrete skills to manage day-to-day problems. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to track how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions, which can help with intimacy and communication struggles.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. If something doesn't fit, she adjusts the plan together so the work feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to give more flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when messaging fits a person's routine better.
