01About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is a licensed professional counselor who blends practical therapy with life coaching experience. She offers bilingual sessions in English and Spanish and focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma, or major life changes. Her background as a former attorney and a long-time yoga practitioner informs a calm, organized style in sessions.
She centers much of her work on cognitive behavioral methods - helping people notice thought patterns that get in the way and testing new ways of thinking.
Background and approach
Claudia also uses narrative approaches to help people reframe their stories and attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings and behavior. These methods are aimed at clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better communication. Claudia draws on about three years of clinical counseling experience alongside over a decade of life coaching.
That mix gives her both structured tools and a practical, goal-oriented focus for everyday problems like sleep, eating, work stress, or parenting strains. She often helps clients who face grief, addiction concerns, or identity and intimacy questions. Sessions commonly involve setting specific goals, practicing new skills between visits, and checking progress over time.
She adapts plans so they match each person's needs and pace. People tell her they appreciate direct conversation and concrete steps when emotions feel overwhelming. Claudia practices in Texas as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging and works with clients looking for an approachable, bilingual counselor.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online counseling
Claudia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more useful ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Narrative therapy involves looking at the stories people tell about their lives and gently reshaping those narratives to create more helpful meanings and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk with clients about goals, life circumstances, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits each person and their progress remains clear and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins, quick coping strategies between sessions, or a lower-key way to stay connected while scheduling around work and family commitments.
