About Henry
Henry Burciaga is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 40 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress and anxiety along with depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges.

Henry uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. He listens carefully, helps people name what matters, and uses practical tools to reduce worry and rebuild daily routines.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to leave people with steps they can try between meetings. His approach draws on several therapeutic methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He mixes mindfulness, emotion-focused work, and motivational interviewing depending on what a person needs.
The work often includes learning skills for coping with anger, managing impulsivity, and improving communication. Clients come to him for things like grief, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career stress, or changes tied to illness and aging. He also supports people dealing with attachment issues, chronic pain or cancer, and life-purpose questions.
Henry pays attention to cultural background and the specifics of each person’s life circumstances. People who choose Henry can expect a calm, steady guide who offers practical strategies and reflective conversation. He helps people set clear goals and checks progress over time.
New clients can begin by describing their main concerns and priorities, then shape a plan that fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for persistent worry, life changes, and finding motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and problem-solving. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room - the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace to build insight and self-trust.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Henry works with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and preferences. He may combine elements of different approaches so the work fits the person and the problem rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for many schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or continuing work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into busy lives.
