About Claudia
Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She blends practical strategies with listening and empathy to help people manage strong emotions, rebuild after trauma, and handle everyday stress. Her approach is straightforward and warm, with a sense of humor when it fits.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to teach skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
Claudia also uses mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to support emotional regulation and coping. Her background includes work in psychiatric settings, neuropsychological testing, and disaster response. Those roles gave her experience with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, mood disorders, and long-term adjustment to illness or injury.
She has helped people facing grief, addiction, sleep and eating problems, and difficult life changes. Claudia spent years working with clients applying for disability and assisting people returning to work after chronic illness. She has run online support groups and led assessments that looked closely at thinking, mood, and daily functioning.
These experiences inform her practical, step-by-step style. Therapy sessions focus on giving education, building insight, and offering tools people can use between meetings. She aims to meet each person where they are and to form a dependable working relationship.
If someone wants help managing anger, anxiety, or coping with major life changes, Claudia provides calm, experienced guidance.

How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online
Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic ideas in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Psychodynamic approaches look at patterns from past relationships and life events that influence current struggles and help people gain insight into repeated reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to find strategies that fit the person’s daily life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, coping skills practice, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
