About Claudia
Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with two decades of experience helping people cope with anxiety, stress, trauma, and life changes. She blends clear-eyed support with practical tools so clients can manage day-to-day challenges and feel more steady. Her style is warm and direct, and she brings a long history of clinical work to each conversation.
Claudia returned to graduate school while working full time and raising three sons, then completed a master’s degree in psychology.
Background and approach
Early clinical experiences included work on a psychiatric ward and crisis support after Hurricane Katrina, which shaped her approach to trauma and sudden life changes. Those roles helped her build skills in listening, assessment, and crisis response. For 15 years she conducted neuropsychological testing, spending many hours assessing thinking, memory, and emotional reaction after injuries or illness.
That work led to focused experience with post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and the process of adapting to disability or major health changes. She also supported people applying for disability benefits and those planning a return to work. Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas with attachment-based and mindfulness practices when they fit.
She emphasizes education, emotional support, insight, and practical coping strategies you can use outside sessions. Humor and human connection are part of how she builds rapport. Claudia has led an online panic disorder support group and has personal experience with counseling, which informs her empathy.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
How Claudia Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Claudia commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and change behavior. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and experiences to understand how they shape current feelings and reactions.She also incorporates attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices when they help a client feel more regulated and connected. Choosing an approach is collaborative - she listens to your goals, tries methods, and adjusts the plan together with you based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep face-to-face contact when that matters. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework guidance, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to maintain momentum between appointments.
