About Claudia
Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She keeps sessions warm and straightforward so people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life changes. Claudia uses plain language and a conversational style to help clients feel understood and able to try new ways of coping.
She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people explore their own reasons for change without judgment. Claudia also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods to support values-based choices and stronger self-acceptance. These approaches guide gentle, goal-focused work rather than relying on labels or one-size-fits-all techniques.
Claudia has six years of experience as an LPC in Texas. She combines practical skills with listening and reflection to help people improve communication, build self-esteem, and navigate major transitions. Common concerns she addresses include grief, intimacy-related worries, career strain, compassion fatigue, and identity matters such as gender dysphoria and LGBT issues.
She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, commitment problems, domestic violence aftermath, immigration-related stress, and family-of-origin difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to meet diverse language needs.
Claudia aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation. If someone is looking for calm guidance to figure out next steps, she helps set clear, manageable goals and tries different ways of working until things start to feel better.

How approaches like Motivational Interviewing and ACT work online
Claudia uses Motivational Interviewing to help people talk through their own reasons for change in a nonjudgmental way; this approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia treats the choice of methods as a team effort, checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the plan based on the client's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which makes keeping regular appointments easier. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Claudia aims to make therapy usable within everyday life and will help arrange sessions that fit a client's schedule and practical needs. -
