About Claudia
Claudia Carballal-Benaglio is an LPC who combines cognitive behavioral work with narrative and mindfulness ideas to help people find clearer paths forward. She works in both English and Spanish and draws on prior experience as an attorney, life coach, and yoga practitioner to bring practical tools and grounded conversation to sessions.
Claudia focuses on day-to-day problems like stress, anxiety, and relationship conflict. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and life changes. She commonly helps clients who are navigating attachment and abandonment issues, communication struggles, and challenges tied to blended families or separation.
In sessions she often begins by looking at thoughts and beliefs that shape feelings and choices. That cognitive behavioral approach helps clients notice patterns and try different responses. She also listens for the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those narratives to make space for new meaning.
Mindfulness practices and simple inquiry are woven into the work when helpful. Those practices are used to increase awareness of emotions and bodily experience. Claudia aims to make sessions practical and focused on changes people can try between meetings.
Her background includes about three years as a licensed professional counselor alongside longer experience as a coach and yoga practitioner. She offers multicultural, bilingual counseling and brings negotiation skills to work with couples and family dynamics.

How her approaches translate to online care
Claudia commonly integrates cognitive behavioral work and narrative therapy into her sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be practiced between meetings. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps reframe those stories to open up different choices and meanings.Finding the right approach is often collaborative. Claudia will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The process is paced to the individual's comfort and aims to build useful skills over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and thought-restructuring tools in the context of daily life, so new habits can be practiced between appointments.
