About Claudia
Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with two decades of clinical experience. She combines practical techniques with thoughtful listening to help people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Claudia keeps language simple and focuses on what can change now.
She trained in psychology and returned to school while working full time. Early roles included work in hospital psychiatry and supporting people after major disasters.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped how she understands trauma, eating disorders, and the strain of life changes. For 15 years Claudia performed neuropsychological testing, spending long sessions to map thinking, mood, and functioning. That work deepened her sense of how injuries, chronic illness, and PTSD affect daily life and decision making.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic ideas and attachment perspectives. She focuses on emotional support, clear information, and practical tools clients can use between sessions. Humor and human connection are part of how she builds trust.
Claudia is comfortable talking about addictions, sleep and eating problems, mood disorders like bipolar, and life transitions such as returning to work after illness. She also helps people address relationship and communication concerns and the stresses of parenting. She has run online support groups and led long-term clinical work with diverse clients.
If someone wants straightforward guidance, coping strategies, and a clinician who listens, Claudia aims to make the next step feel manageable.

How online therapy and practical approaches work together
Claudia often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with sleep or eating by teaching step-by-step coping practices.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. This helps people understand repeated patterns in communication, parenting, and emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life demands, and what methods feel most useful. Together they plan which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days for brief reflections, coaching, or between-session support. These options let people balance care with work, family, and other commitments while working on parenting, coping, or trauma recovery.
