Claudia Leyton-De la Torre, LPC

Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses practical, conversational therapy to help people manage life's hard moments. She keeps sessions warm and straightforward so clients can speak honestly and feel heard. Claudia offers services in English and Spanish to meet diverse communication needs.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, dialectical skills, and client-centered approaches to address anxiety and depression. Those methods help identify unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and clarify what matters most to each person. Claudia also brings existential ideas into conversations about meaning and purpose when that fits.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, grief, career struggles, and the emotional impact of life changes. She also helps with attachment questions, blended family tensions, body image, gender dysphoria, and immigration-related stress. Sessions focus on concrete tools and real-life steps clients can try between meetings.

Claudia has six years of counseling experience working with a range of emotional and interpersonal challenges. Her style blends direct feedback and empathic listening so people can take clearer action. She emphasizes practical change over long explanations.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How online therapy and practical approaches work together

Claudia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks issues into small, testable steps.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued actions. ACT can be helpful when someone wants to live more in line with their priorities despite emotional discomfort.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to identify what helps in day-to-day life rather than stick rigidly to one method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is good for full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options let clients fit sessions into busy schedules and use the format that feels most practical for them.
