About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She provides bilingual counseling in English and Spanish and brings experience from prior work as an attorney, a life coach, and a yoga practitioner. Claudia focuses on helping people who are facing relationship strain, anxiety, stress, trauma, or questions about purpose and identity.
Claudia primarily uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Narrative work helps clients make sense of difficult life events and regain a sense of agency. Her approach is practical and conversational.
Sessions often involve naming patterns, trying small experiments between meetings, and reflecting on what feels meaningful. She works with issues such as depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, addiction, and ADHD alongside communication struggles and family of origin concerns. Claudia has about three years of formal counseling experience, plus longer experience as a life coach.
She has carried a robust caseload in independent practice and in organizational mental health settings. That background informs a paced, solution-oriented style that also leaves room for deeper reflection. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Prospective clients can complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The LPC credential indicates licensure to practice counseling in Texas.
Attachment and Cognitive Work Online
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or disruptive thinking patterns.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns show up now. That work helps when communication, intimacy, or trust issues keep repeating in close relationships. Narrative therapy is used as well to name stories people tell about themselves and to open space for new meanings after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She aims to tailor methods so sessions feel collaborative and focused on practical steps as well as deeper understanding.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use body language and tone, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy going around work and family life.
