Claudia Burns, LPC

Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, addictions, relationship and family issues, and life changes. Claudia draws on long-term clinical practice plus earlier roles in hospital and neuropsychological settings.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology and a master’s degree in psychology, completing graduate school while working full time. Early career work included clinical placements in a county psychiatric ward and disaster response at the Astrodome after Hurricane Katrina. Those roles shaped her understanding of severe stress and trauma.

Later, she spent 15 years in neuropsychological testing, conducting day-long assessments that examined cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. That work brought depth to her approach with clients adjusting to traumatic injury, chronic illness, or disability, and to those navigating mood and anxiety disorders.

Claudia uses cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic principles, and she incorporates attachment-based and mindfulness ideas when useful. Her practical focus is on emotional support, education, and helping people develop insights and self-help tools. She also has experience running an online Panic Disorder support group prior to formal clinical training.

In sessions she aims to build a dependable therapeutic relationship and keeps things straightforward. She combines talk, skill practice, and coping strategies so people can manage strong feelings, reduce conflict, and make clearer decisions about work and family life.
