About Claudia
Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who draws on two decades of clinical experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic insight to help clients understand patterns of thought and feeling, build practical coping skills, and work toward clearer emotional balance. Her background includes extensive work in neuropsychological testing and direct psychiatric care, which shaped a deep familiarity with PTSD, depression, traumatic injury recovery, and challenges related to chronic illness.
Her clinical path included work in hospital psychiatric wards, helping communities affected by disasters, and supporting clients with eating disorders and disability-related concerns. That variety taught her to meet people where they are, listen with empathy, and adapt interventions to individual needs.
Claudia emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress, combines education with skill-building, and uses warmth and gentle humor alongside clinical methods to make therapy approachable. She welcomes clients seeking help for addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar and attention concerns, obsessive patterns, phobias, and the emotional fallout of medical or life-changing events.
Claudia aims to offer practical tools, personal insight, and steady support as clients work toward their goals.
Integrating evidence-based approaches with online access
Claudia combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Attachment-Based and dialectical-informed techniques to address thoughts, relationships, and emotional regulation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change compulsive or avoidance behaviors. Attachment-Based elements explore patterns of relating and emotional bonds to help people improve communication and trust in close relationships, which can be useful for family and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)–informed skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for managing intense emotions and impulsive reactions.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudia collaborates with clients to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She listens to each person’s history and priorities and adjusts interventions over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access care from home. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow ongoing skill coaching between meetings, and accommodate different communication styles so clients can choose the format that works best for them.
