About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is an LPC who centers her work on cognitive behavioral ideas and narrative reflection. She offers bilingual counseling in English and Spanish and draws on prior experience as an attorney, a life coach, and a yoga practitioner to bring practical tools to sessions. Her style is direct and problem-focused while staying attentive to each person’s life story and values.
She focuses on helping people untangle anxious thoughts and long-held beliefs that get in the way of daily life. Claudia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns and test them against real-life evidence. She also helps clients name the stories they tell themselves and consider different meanings for difficult events.
Clients often come for help with relationship conflict, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as stress, depression, ADHD, grief, addiction-related issues, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice attends to attachment and abandonment themes, codependency, and communication or control issues that show up in relationships.
Claudia mixes structured exercises with reflective conversation. That can include tracking thoughts, practicing new ways to talk about problems, and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions. Her experience includes individual, couple, and family work in private practice and organizational mental health settings.
She practices in Texas and offers services in both English and Spanish. People interested in beginning work with her can use the site process to match and schedule a session.
How Claudia's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral work and narrative approaches that adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can be tracked between appointments. Narrative work helps people name the stories they live by and try alternative ways to understand painful events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions and adjust methods as needed. That way clients help shape whether more action-oriented work or deeper personal meaning-making is the best fit.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for continued progress without extra travel time. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, thought records, and narrative techniques over remote sessions while helping clients apply them in daily life.
