About Claudia

Claudia Briceno centers her practice on collaborative, skills-based work that helps people manage everyday challenges and build stronger connections. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with emotion-focused and mindfulness strategies to improve communication, strengthen self-esteem, and create healthier boundaries.

Background and approach

Claudia draws on nine years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University to offer practical tools for navigating stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Her approach emphasizes transparency and mutual communication, inviting clients to explore personal insight while practicing concrete techniques for change.

Claudia works with a broad range of concerns including trauma, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar and depressive symptoms, compassion fatigue, and life transitions, as well as more specific focuses such as body image, codependency, postpartum depression, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

She provides therapy in both English and Spanish and is licensed as an LMHC in Massachusetts, bringing an approachable and solution-minded presence to each session.

Remote skill-based therapy using evidence-informed methods

Claudia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, and day-to-day stressors. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship conflicts are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will work with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting strategies as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered in flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These options support continuity of skill practice between meetings and allow clients to engage in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
