About Claudia
Claudia Briceno is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who centers her work on helping people build healthier communication, stronger self-esteem, and clearer boundaries. She describes therapy as a space for learning practical tools and reconnecting with inner strengths. Claudia uses straightforward language and a collaborative attitude in sessions.
She brings nine years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University. That background informs a practical approach to common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with sleeping. Claudia also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, and career stress.
Her approach combines strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with emotion-focused and mindfulness practices. Sessions often involve skill-building for coping, practicing new ways to communicate, and noticing patterns that affect mood and sleep. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals between meetings.
Claudia works with issues across the lifespan, including aging and geriatric concerns, postpartum and pregnancy-related challenges, and hospice and end-of-life counseling topics. She also addresses identity-related matters, such as LGBT concerns, sexuality, body image, and HIV/AIDS related issues.
Therapy is offered in English and Spanish, and international clients are accepted. The process begins by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on the therapist's availability.
Therapy approaches and online care for stress and sleep
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits that affect mood and sleep. CBT often focuses on practical steps like adjusting routines, testing assumptions, and trying new behaviors that can improve rest and daytime function.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness. These DBT-informed skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and finding steadier patterns for sleep and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. She often blends techniques and checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into daily life, keeping appointments during busy days, and having shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Claudia about how to shape sessions so they fit schedules, attention spans, and goals without assuming a particular delivery method.
