About Claudia
Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She combines straightforward talk, practical tools, and emotional support to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, addictions, mood struggles, and life changes. Claudia writes plainly and checks in about what matters most to each person she sees.
Claudia returned to school after raising three sons and working at Baylor College of Medicine. She completed a master’s degree in Psychology while working full time and gained early clinical experience on a psychiatric ward and in disaster response after Hurricane Katrina. That work shaped her approach to trauma, PTSD, and sudden life changes.
For 15 years Claudia performed neuropsychological testing, spending long evaluations with people adjusting to traumatic injury, chronic illness, or cognitive concerns. That background gave her close observation skills and a clear view of how emotional pain and thinking patterns affect daily life, sleep, and ability to return to work.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic ideas, plus attachment-based thinking, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness as needed. She focuses on education, building insight, and teaching skills that people can use between sessions.
Claudia values connection and practical results in sessions. She believes a strong therapeutic relationship and a little humor help people move forward. To begin, readers can complete the site questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's listed process.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Claudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on habits, sleep routines, and skills you can practice between sessions. She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that started long ago and how they affect current feelings and relationships. That work can bring insight into recurring struggles and help shift long-standing reactions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Claudia will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match goals, symptoms, and daily life. She can adjust focus over time, mixing skill-based work and deeper exploration as needed.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support skill practice for sleep, anxiety, and coping between appointments, while still using the same CBT and psychodynamic tools Claudia relies on in person.
