About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends cognitive behavioral work with narrative and mindfulness approaches. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on a varied background that includes life coaching, yoga, and previous work as an attorney. Claudia focuses on helping people make sense of difficult moments and find clearer next steps.
She typically starts by looking at thoughts and core beliefs that shape feelings and behavior. That often leads to practical steps people can try between sessions. Claudia also uses storytelling and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and build new responses.
People come to Claudia when they are at a crossroads or facing relationship conflict, family tension, anxiety, anger, or the impact of past trauma. She also works with concerns like codependency, grief, parenting stress, career strain, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. Her approach aims to make problems easier to understand and address.
With three years of clinical experience as an LPC in Texas and a longer history as a coach and yoga practitioner, she brings both therapeutic tools and everyday problem-solving skills. Sessions include reflection, skill-building, and practical exercises tailored to the person in front of her.
Claudia offers bilingual counseling in Spanish and English. Prospective clients are invited to use the platform's Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a match with her based on availability.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Claudia combines cognitive behavioral methods with narrative and mindfulness practices to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and core beliefs and helps people try small behavior changes to reduce distress and gain clarity. Narrative work helps people tell and reframe their life stories to find meaning and different directions. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia will work together with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape session content and homework between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also allows continuity when schedules or locations change, while keeping the focus on practical skills, reflection, and steps people can use in daily life.
