About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She offers bilingual counseling in English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, anger, trauma, and life transitions. Claudia also brings prior experience as an attorney and a life coach to her approach.
Claudia mainly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different, practical ways of responding. She also uses narrative work to help people name the stories they tell about themselves and to notice other possible meanings.
Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics. That perspective helps when someone is dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, or blended family challenges. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness in the moment and to reduce reactivity when emotions run high.
She meets people who are at crossroads, coping with grief, navigating parenting stress, dealing with addictions, or handling career and identity concerns. Claudia also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her background in negotiation and coaching informs practical problem-solving in sessions. The overall focus is on clear, doable steps clients can try between sessions and on making sense of recurring patterns. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify thought patterns that feed reactivity and anger. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete steps and experiments clients can try between meetings to test different responses and reduce flare-ups.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current conflict and closeness. That work helps people understand recurring triggers in partnerships and family interactions and plan new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt sessions as needed. The intent is to work together on small, practical changes and on understanding longer-standing patterns.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a quick check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Phone or video might be chosen for different practical reasons - for example, a shorter audio check-in can work during a break at work, while video can be used when visual cues are helpful.
