Claudia Burns, LPC

Claudia Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. She brings two decades of experience to therapy and focuses on easing stress and anxiety while helping people cope with life changes.

She earned a master’s degree in Psychology in 2005 after completing undergraduate studies in Psychology and Sociology. Before returning to school she raised three sons and worked at Baylor College of Medicine in Surgery and Psychiatry. Early clinical placements included a county hospital psychiatric ward and work assisting survivors after Hurricane Katrina.

For 15 years she conducted neuropsychological testing, spending extended time with clients to understand cognitive and emotional challenges. That work gave her experience with post-traumatic stress, depression, adjustment after traumatic injury or illness, and the practical needs of people applying for disability or returning to work.

Her approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship and using education and practical tools. She combines cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic principles with other methods that fit each person’s situation. Humor and straightforward conversation are part of how she connects.

Claudia has run an online panic disorder support group in the past and has personal experience with counseling. She helps people gain insight into themselves, learn coping skills, and manage symptoms like anxiety, sleep or eating problems, and mood concerns. To begin, clients complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and trust. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect stress and anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxious thinking, change unhelpful behaviors, and improve sleep and daily routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing mindful awareness during high-stress moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it possible to keep therapy consistent during life changes while still focusing on practical skills for anxiety, trauma recovery, and coping with change.
