About Claudia
Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She combines practical therapy methods with years of work in medical and psychiatric settings to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. Claudia draws on long experience with neuropsychological evaluation and work with people adjusting to life-changing events.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology and a master’s degree in psychology completed while working full time. Early practicum and internship work exposed her to psychiatric inpatient care, disaster response after Hurricane Katrina, and treatment of eating disorders. Those experiences shaped how she responds to trauma and severe distress.
For 15 years she conducted neuropsychological testing, spending extended time with clients to assess cognitive, emotional, and mental functioning. That work gave her practice in understanding PTSD, depression, anxiety after traumatic injury, and the effects of chronic illness on daily life and work. She also supported people applying for disability and those returning to work with ongoing medical concerns.
Claudia’s approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic ideas with attachment-based and mindfulness elements where useful. She emphasizes emotional support, education, and practical tools clients can use between sessions. She believes a strong therapeutic relationship matters and that clear, sometimes lighthearted interaction helps progress.
She has run an online panic disorder support group in the past and brings experience working in medical and psychiatric teams. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and can expect a straightforward, experience-based approach to problems related to mood, trauma, parenting, and life transitions.
How sessions work
How Claudia's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people recognize patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions CBT provides concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and it can be useful when strong emotions interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues arise, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue therapy while managing medical appointments, caregiving, or work schedules. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
