Claudia Carballal-Benaglio, LPC

Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a licensed professional counselor who uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people sort through painful thoughts and find clearer pathways forward. She offers bilingual support in English and Spanish and draws on a varied background to meet people where they are.

She approaches therapy practically. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. Claudia also uses narrative ideas to help people find meaning in difficult events and to reframe life stories that feel stuck.

Her prior work includes roles outside traditional therapy that inform her practice. Claudia has experience as a life coach, a yoga practitioner, and a former attorney. Those experiences shape her attention to communication skills, negotiation in relationship conversations, and self-reflection work with individuals.

Clients come for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and career or life transitions. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and coping with major losses or disruption.

Claudia has three years of counseling experience and is licensed in Texas as an LPC. She is comfortable working with clients who want sessions in English or Spanish and offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules.

Working with CBT and Attachment approaches online

Claudia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice troubling thoughts, test whether they are accurate, and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. This approach is useful for worry, low mood, and patterns that keep repeating.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current partnerships. That work can help people understand patterns around intimacy, commitment, and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether CBT, attachment-focused work, or another way of working should guide sessions.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to cover the same material as in-person work while seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing over speaking.
