About Claudia

Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience and a longer background as a life coach and former attorney. She offers bilingual counseling in English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Claudia also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to ADHD and mood disorders.

Claudia leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes. She also uses narrative work to help people make sense of their life stories and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships still shape present patterns. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented, with room for reflection and skills practice.

Her background includes long experience as a life coach, training in yoga practices, and work as an attorney, which she draws on when helping people negotiate relationship dynamics or make clear decisions. That mix informs a practical approach to conflicts, communication problems, and commitment or control issues.

Claudia often sees people who are at a crossroads - ending relationships, managing blended family stress, or recovering from domestic violence or abandonment wounds. She also addresses caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and the everyday strain of juggling work and family.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match your needs.

How sessions work

How attachment and CBT translate to online sessions

Claudia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that fit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and testing small behavior changes; online sessions can guide practical experiments and short homework between meetings. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape reactions, which can be discussed and rehearsed in conversation during sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Claudia will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. She invites input about what feels useful and adjusts the focus over time so the work matches your needs.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy life. If you need to plan around work or family obligations, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are possible. Online work can make it simpler to do short check-ins, practice communication skills between meetings, and follow up on behavioral experiments without adding travel time.
