About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who combines cognitive approaches with narrative and mindfulness practices. She offers bilingual therapy in English and Spanish and draws on varied life experience to connect with people facing parenting and relationship strain. Claudia centers sessions on thought patterns and core beliefs to help people gain clarity and make practical changes.
She often uses narrative work to help clients find meaning in difficult experiences.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to teach calming skills for stress and anxiety. Clients commonly come for issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship conflict, trauma, grief, and coping with life changes. Claudia also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, codependency, blended family tensions, and caregiver stress.
She frames goals around specific problems that feel most urgent to the client. With three years of clinical experience and a longer background in coaching, yoga, and law, Claudia mixes practical problem solving with reflective questioning. That blend helps people who need both tools and perspective when they face crossroads or repeated patterns.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Claudia works from Texas and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify attachment patterns and try new ways of relating, which can help with intimacy and parenting challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and beliefs that keep problems going. In remote sessions Claudia helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and practice new habits between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Narrative Therapy helps people tell and retell their stories so painful events feel less dominating. Through discussion and written exercises a therapist can guide clients to find different meanings and greater agency in their experiences.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change over time.
Online therapy lets people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are close to in-person conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular work on parenting, relationships, or stress without long travel.
