About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works in both English and Spanish and helps people dealing with anxiety, anger, relationship conflict, trauma, and life transitions. Claudia combines practical techniques with talk-based reflection to help clients understand what gets in the way of moving forward.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and the beliefs that fuel strong emotions. That work aims to bring clarity and practical steps when reactions feel overwhelming. Claudia also draws on narrative approaches to help people name the stories they tell about themselves and find different ways to describe difficult events.
Claudia’s background includes experience as a life coach, a yoga practitioner, and time working as an attorney. Those roles shaped her interest in negotiation skills with couples and families and in helping individuals develop self-awareness. She describes her core practice as solution-focused conversation that attends to meaning and context.
Clients often come when they feel stuck at a crossroads, are facing family or relationship turmoil, or are coping with trauma and grief. Claudia works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, career problems, and issues around intimacy and attachment.
Her approach blends direct exploration of thought patterns with storytelling and mindfulness-informed reflection. The result is a mix of practical tools and deeper discussion about values and next steps. Prospective clients should confirm session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Claudia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete patterns, small experiments, and practical strategies that can be practiced between meetings.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and emotional responses. That work helps people see how past and present connections shape reactions like anger and mistrust, and it can guide clearer communication and boundary-setting.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early meetings. Together clients evaluate which techniques fit day-to-day life and the problems they want to address.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and allow for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or meetings that fit around work and family obligations. Therapists generally adapt exercises, thought records, and narrative work so they translate well to remote sessions.
