About Claudia
Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings a warm, honest presence to sessions and aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation instead of a clinical interrogation. Claudia helps people navigate anxiety and stress while also addressing depression, relationship strain, and life transitions.
She uses pragmatic tools to help clients build self-esteem and stronger communication. Sessions focus on small concrete steps and clear goals.
Background and approach
Claudia speaks English and Spanish, which helps her connect with people from diverse backgrounds. Her work often centers on emotional concerns tied to grief, intimacy, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment issues, family of origin problems, and immigration-related stress.
The practice pays attention to how attachment patterns and past relationships shape current behavior. Claudia draws from several therapy approaches when tailoring care. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values.
She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical and client-centered methods shape how she builds coping skills and holds an empathic therapeutic space. With six years of clinical experience, Claudia focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her sessions aim to leave people feeling more grounded and capable of handling life’s challenges. If someone wants help sorting through anxiety or making a change, she works collaboratively to set practical next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants clearer priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time so the plan matches how someone responds and what they want to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing support between scheduled meetings and for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
