Claudia Burns, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Claudia

Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who offers practical, down-to-earth support. She uses clear talk and structured tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. Her style blends learning new skills with exploring feelings and patterns so people can make changes that fit their lives.

Claudia returned to school for a master’s in psychology while raising three sons and working full time at Baylor College of Medicine.

Background and approach

Early clinical experiences included work on a psychiatric ward and supporting people after Hurricane Katrina. She later spent 15 years doing neuropsychological testing, spending long sessions with clients to understand cognitive, emotional, and trauma-related issues. That testing work shaped how she sees problems like post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and the impact of injuries or chronic illness.

She has helped people navigate disability questions and return-to-work concerns, and has worked with eating disorders and panic issues. Claudia combines careful assessment with practical strategies to address day-to-day struggles. Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - with psychodynamic ideas that look at how past experiences shape current feelings.

She also uses attachment-based and mindfulness tools when they fit the person’s needs. Claudia emphasizes a warm, humane relationship and believes a little humor can help in hard moments. Claudia draws on two decades of experience to offer guidance, education, and tools for self-management.

She aims to meet each person where they are and to work together on clear, achievable goals.

Using focused therapies online to address everyday struggles

Claudia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening emotional regulation.

She approaches choosing methods as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the individual about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Together they adjust the plan over time to find what helps most for the person’s situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility for busy days and varied needs. These options make it easier to fit appointments around work, parenting, medical care, or mobility limits. Many people find the mix of face-to-face video and shorter chat or messaging check-ins helps keep progress steady when life gets hectic.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
