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 struggles, and life transitions, and offers sessions in English and Spanish. Her focus also includes family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and relationship-related challenges such as communication problems and commitment issues.
Claudia keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to how family roles and expectations still affect daily life. She helps people notice patterns, name what matters, and try small changes to feel less stuck. Conversations move at a practical pace and aim for clearer choices rather than labels.
Her clinical work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and elements of Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means sessions may include noticing thoughts and values, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills for managing strong emotions. Claudia explains tools plainly and practices them together with the person in session.
She also supports people dealing with grief, body image concerns, immigration-related stress, and issues linked to gender identity. Sessions can look at how earlier family dynamics affect intimacy, work, and decision making now. The goal is to help clients make sense of patterns and find realistic next steps.
People who prefer conversation in Spanish can request it. Claudia uses her years of experience to balance direct feedback with listening, aiming to help people develop clearer communication and more stable coping in everyday life.
How Claudia Uses Talk Therapy Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting driven by them and clarifies personal values to guide choices. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and follows the client’s lead to build clearer self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss these methods with each person and choose what fits their goals, preferences, and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some methods used in session translate well to remote work - for example practicing CBT exercises between meetings or running short ACT values check-ins during a lunch break. Ask about specific formats when scheduling so practical details match your routine.
