About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with three years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and related concerns in both English and Spanish. She combines practical problem-solving with attention to personal meaning and life direction.
Claudia draws on her background as a former attorney and a long-time life coach to help clients name problems and take steps toward change. She often uses cognitive behavioral methods to look at thoughts and beliefs that keep patterns in place. She also invites clients to look at their personal stories through narrative work and to notice attachment patterns that shape their relationships.
Sessions are conversational and action-oriented. Claudia helps clients clarify goals, try specific strategies, and reflect on what feels useful. She supports people dealing with grief, changes in family structure, addiction concerns, intimacy questions, and shifts in career or parenting roles.
Her practice includes attention to cultural context and bilingual counseling for Spanish speakers. Claudia has worked in private practice and with a mental health department where she saw many clients each week. Clients who want to start will follow a short matching process before scheduling a first session.
She values clear steps and personal reflection. That combination aims to help people make tangible changes while understanding how their habits and relationships formed.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Claudia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which can work well in remote sessions through guided exercises and homework. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be explored through conversation, reflection, and role practice during online appointments.Finding the right approach is something she does together with each person. She will talk about goals, what has felt helpful before, and how comfortable you are with different methods, then suggest a path forward that fits your needs and preferences.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to meet across distances. If you prefer working in English or Spanish, note she offers both languages and will help translate therapeutic ideas into whatever language you choose.
