About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works in both English and Spanish and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Claudia also brings prior experience as a life coach, yoga practitioner, and former attorney to her counseling work.
She mainly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to look at thoughts and core beliefs. Claudia also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people find meaning and make clearer choices. In sessions she encourages practical steps, clearer thinking, and noticing the stories people tell about themselves.
Her background in negotiation and coaching informs how she talks through tense relationships and family dynamics. She describes working with people at crossroads, dealing with family conflict, or coping after trauma. Her practice includes attention to attachment issues, abandonment, and blended family concerns.
Claudia sees a range of concerns including grief, intimacy questions, anger and control issues, addiction, ADHD, and career or role transitions. She supports people navigating caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems.
Her approach tends to be direct and conversational. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and developing practical coping skills. She aims to help people gain clarity and take steps that fit their everyday life.
How sessions work
How Claudia uses approach and online work together
Claudia combines cognitive behavioral work with attachment-focused ideas to help people notice thought patterns and relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test new behaviors when anxiety, depression, or anger get in the way. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how they appear in current family and partner interactions, which can be useful for parenting and blended family concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying interventions, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than prescribing one fixed method.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to schedule counseling around work, childcare, or other daily demands. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video when needed, and fewer logistics for getting to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life without adding travel time.
