About Claudia
Claudia Briceno is an LMHC (Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine) with nine years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues like grief, trauma, and self-esteem. Claudia also supports those facing eating or sleeping problems, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She focuses on clear communication and strengthening boundaries. Claudia helps people rebuild self-esteem and practice empathy in relationships. Her approach centers on teaching concrete tools that can be used day to day. She favors open discussion and straightforward feedback about progress and next steps.
Claudia uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, among others. In session she helps people notice thought patterns, practice emotion regulation skills, and try new ways of interacting with others. The work is often skills-based and action-oriented, with attention to feelings and relational patterns.
She also addresses codependency and control issues, as well as concerns around aging, body image, sexuality, and pregnancy or postpartum adjustment. Claudia offers support for people affected by HIV/AIDS and for those navigating hospice or end-of-life matters. Her background includes helping clients manage career stress, anger, impulsivity, and jealousy.
Claudia asks people to be transparent about goals and to identify small, realistic steps forward. To begin she recommends completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. International clients can be accommodated and language needs in English or Spanish are welcomed.
How sessions work
How Claudia’s approaches translate to online work
Claudia practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that fit online sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be done through structured exercises and homework. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, offering concrete skills practice and short coaching moments during sessions.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name feelings in relationships. EFT work online can involve mapping interaction patterns and trying new responses in real time, with guidance on what to say and how to stay regulated. Claudia treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will help clients decide what methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing skills practice between meetings and lets the therapist and client use written exercises or shared screens to review tools together. Licensed professionals can adapt the mix of CBT, DBT, and EFT techniques to suit the pace and goals each person brings to therapy.
