About Henry
Henry Burciaga is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of clinical experience in California. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. He also supports those wrestling with life changes, career crossroads, self-esteem, and intimacy-related worries.
Henry uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals. His style blends acceptance, mindful awareness, and skills-based tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Over decades of practice he has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. He pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits that often keep problems stuck. He also has experience with chronic illness, cancer-related stress, and aging and geriatric issues.
Henry draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. He explains how each method might help and adapts tools to fit what feels useful for the person in front of him. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients.
Henry aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can make steady changes at their own pace.

How Henry’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Henry will talk through goals, preferences, and the specific challenges someone brings. He adapts techniques from these methods so they fit the person's needs rather than using a single rigid method, and he checks in to see what is helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
