About Claudia

Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings two decades of clinical experience and a focus on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life adjustments. Claudia uses clear, practical methods to help people understand what is happening and find ways to cope day to day.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology and later completed a master’s degree in psychology while working full time. Early clinical work included time in a psychiatric ward and support work after Hurricane Katrina, which shaped her understanding of crisis and recovery. Claudia also ran an online panic disorder support group for six years before pursuing her LPC credential.

For 15 years she conducted neuropsychological testing, spending extended time with clients to evaluate cognitive and emotional functioning. That work gave her experience with post-traumatic stress, traumatic injury adjustment, chronic illness, and the challenges of returning to work after disability. She also worked with people seeking disability benefits and those managing long-term health conditions.

Her approach combines cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas with attachment-based and mindfulness-informed practices when useful. Sessions include emotional support, education, insight-building, and practical tools clients can use between meetings. Claudia emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship and brings a warm, empathetic style with a sense of humor.

People looking for help with grief, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or coping with natural or human-caused disaster will find an experienced clinician who aims to meet them where they are.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Claudia uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide her work with clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Attachment-based methods look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people build more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques from these approaches with mindfulness and psychodynamic concepts when they help the work move forward.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and helping people meet regularly from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these methods to address stress, trauma, grief, and adjustment after major events, and the therapist will help select approaches that match each person’s situation.
