About Claudia
Claudia Briceno is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who centers her work on clear communication, empathy, and rebuilding self-esteem. She guides people toward firmer boundaries and practical tools for daily life. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people manage stress and relationship challenges with small, usable steps.
She earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University. Over nine years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Claudia also addresses intimacy-related issues, codependency, body image, and workplace stress in ways people can apply between sessions.
Sessions focus on learning skills and noticing patterns that get in the way. Claudia uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused techniques to help people name what matters and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in to support short-term goals and long-term insight.
Claudia speaks English and Spanish and works with people navigating life transitions, chronic stress, and complex emotional patterns. She emphasizes transparency in the therapeutic relationship and invites clients to partner in setting goals and evaluating progress.
For people wondering where to start, she recommends a simple first step of identifying one problem to focus on. From there she helps build steps that fit real life and can be practiced between sessions.
How Claudia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused ideas to guide sessions. Cognitive behavioral work looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going, and then tries small experiments to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating patterns. Emotionally-focused strategies focus on recognizing and naming strong feelings and improving how people communicate about them, which can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts tools and tasks so sessions stay relevant and practical.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work from a location that reduces distractions or bandwidth demands. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on skill practice, emotion work, and real-life problem solving without changing the core therapeutic goals.
