Claudia Carballal-Benaglio, LPC

Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is an LPC based in Texas who uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She works in both English and Spanish and brings prior experience as an attorney, a life coach, and a yoga practitioner to her counseling. Her style is practical and direct, focusing on thoughts, beliefs, and everyday coping skills.

Claudia centers sessions on examining thinking patterns and core beliefs to uncover what keeps problems going. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with narrative and existential perspectives to help clients make meaning of difficult experiences. Mindfulness practices and attention to attachment patterns are woven in when helpful.

People often seek Claudia when they face relationship conflict, family tension, life changes, or emotional turmoil. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and work-related stress. She aims to help clients move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and manageable steps.

With three years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and more than a decade working as a coach and in other roles, she draws on practical negotiation skills and inquiry techniques in sessions. Her background includes running a private practice and working with an organization's mental health department where she saw a high caseload.

Sessions focus on developing skills and clearer thinking, telling and reworking the stories people carry, and noticing patterns in close relationships. Claudia invites a collaborative process that looks at immediate concerns and long-term patterns to support change.

Online approaches that focus on thought and relationship patterns

Claudia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions and trust in others.

She also uses elements of narrative and mindfulness to help people tell and reframe their stories and to build attention skills that reduce reactivity. Choosing the right blend of these approaches is part of the therapy process. Claudia collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so clients practice skills between meetings and apply them to real situations.
