About Claudia
Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, intimacy issues, and the strain of life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Claudia uses straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to guide the work. In practice this means helping people notice what matters to them, test out new ways of thinking, and build skills for handling strong emotions.
Many people come for help after a breakup, during a career shift, or when family life feels unsettled. She also addresses concerns tied to gender identity, immigration stress, body image, and blended family issues. The focus is on practical steps - clearer communication, managing worry, and setting boundaries - rather than labels or long assessments.
Sessions aim to be a place for honest talk and straightforward feedback. Claudia emphasizes gradual changes people can use in daily life, like small behavior shifts and coping strategies for difficult moments. Her bilingual ability supports clients who prefer English or Spanish.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Claudia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which can help when life changes or blended household roles feel unclear. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods collaboratively rather than following a single script. That way the plan reflects daily realities and what the client wants to change first.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, require less travel, and make it simpler to book follow-ups. If a shorter check-in or a daytime appointment helps you keep progress between family or work obligations, mention that when you schedule so session length and timing can be considered.
