About Claudia

Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people find clearer thinking and practical steps forward. She offers bilingual support in English and Spanish and draws on a varied background to connect with clients from different walks of life. She centers sessions on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday reality.

That often leads to small, doable changes in behavior that reduce stress and anxiety.

Background and approach

Claudia also invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves, which can shift how they relate to relationships and past events. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, self-esteem, and life transitions. She helps people manage sleep and eating problems, workplace stress, and questions about intimacy or identity.

Claudia also supports those facing family of origin issues, codependency, and attachment struggles. With three years as a practicing LPC and earlier experience as a life coach and attorney, she brings practical problem-solving skills to therapy. Sessions blend thought-focused work with reflective exercises so clients both understand and practice new ways of coping.

Claudia aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first meetings. She is based in Texas and works in both English and Spanish. People who want to explore thinking patterns, reduce anger, address trauma, or clarify next steps often find her approach hands-on and goal-oriented.

Approaches Claudia lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Therapeutic tools adapted for online sessions

Claudia commonly blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based ideas in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people form different ways of relating to partners and loved ones.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Claudia will talk with each person about goals, concerns, and preferences and then try techniques that fit those needs. Over the first few sessions she adjusts methods so therapy feels relevant and doable for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into their schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
