About Henry
Henry Burciaga is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT in California with 40 years of practice. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life challenges. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Henry uses practical conversation and established therapies to help people manage difficult feelings. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, and then introduces simple exercises to try between sessions. Clients learn ways to notice triggers, change unhelpful behavior, and practice new responses in everyday moments.
His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods. That mix supports people who want straightforward tools for mood, impulse control, and communication. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
He also brings emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are a core concern, helping people identify interaction cycles and shift how they respond to one another. Henry pays attention to cultural background and long-term life stages, including aging and chronic illness, when relevant to the issue at hand.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, testable changes. People often leave with brief homework, communication strategies, and ways to handle anger or grief as they arise. To begin, readers are asked to use the site button to view online therapy options, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Henry uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Henry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and to clarify what matters so actions match values. ACT can be useful for anger when someone wants to change reactivity without denying emotions.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to introduce practical experiments that change those links. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and impulse-related patterns. Client-centered work forms the base of his style - the focus is on listening, reflecting, and helping people shape goals that matter to them.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. Henry treats choice of method as collaborative and adjusts based on the client's goals and what actually helps. Together they pick exercises and steps that feel doable in daily life.
Confirm the session formats listed on the site's online therapy options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow short check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that helps. These practical features can help clients keep momentum while they practice new skills between meetings.
