About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is an LPC who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people find clearer ways forward. She blends practical talk with curiosity to identify thought patterns that keep problems looping. Claudia offers sessions in English and Spanish and draws on her varied past work to bring different perspectives to the room.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts. She also works with personal stories to find meaning and with attachment ideas to improve close relationships. Her background includes years as a life coach, experience in yoga, and time spent as an attorney, which informs how she supports communication and negotiation in difficult conversations.
Many people come when they face crossroads, relationship conflict, family tension, anxiety, anger, or the aftermath of trauma. Claudia helps unpack those experiences in plain language and then explores small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Sessions often focus on what happens day to day and on building habits that support goals.
She has practiced as a therapist for three years and previously worked in clinic and private practice seeing many clients weekly. That mix of settings shapes a practical approach that balances symptom relief and meaning-making. Claudia aims to work collaboratively and to tailor strategies to each person’s situation.
If you prefer Spanish or English, she can meet in either language. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a session with her.

How attachment and cognitive approaches translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations using this lens look at connection, trust, and how to shift interaction habits that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) zeroes in on thoughts and daily habits that keep problems going. Online CBT often includes identifying specific thought patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments between sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and revise the stories they carry about themselves and their relationships to make room for new meanings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes talking about what feels most useful and adjusting over time if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Some people find video helpful for reading nonverbal cues, while others prefer audio for less screen time. A therapist will discuss practical arrangements so sessions can align with daily routines and goals.
