About Claudia
Claudia Briceno uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people handle stress and relationship struggles. She holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and works as an LMHC in Massachusetts. Sessions focus on clear communication, rebuilding self-esteem, and setting healthy boundaries.
Claudia helps people learn tools they can use day to day. She emphasizes empathy and straightforward conversation. Her approach is collaborative - she listens, then practices skills with each person so new ways of coping become usable in real life.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior tools help with distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Emotionally focused methods are used for intimacy and relationship concerns when people want deeper connection.
Claudia also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. This mix supports work on anxiety, depression, trauma responses, grief, body image, sexual and gender identity concerns, and stress related to work or caregiving. She offers care in English and Spanish and has nearly a decade of experience.
People who want clear steps, empathy, and steady support often find this approach helpful when managing life changes and healing from past wounds.

CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve sleep.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy tools to build distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on how things are going so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full sessions and skill practice, phone works well for lower bandwidth or walk-and-talk check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or homework questions between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
