Claudia Leyton-De la Torre , LPC

Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who combines practical tools with down-to-earth conversation. She uses clear, direct talk to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strains. Sessions are warm and honest, with an emphasis on helping clients feel seen and understood.

Claudia focuses on building self-esteem and improving communication. She helps people navigate life transitions, grief, intimacy questions, and career stress. Her work also addresses concerns related to gender identity and LGBT issues, as well as body image and family of origin struggles.

Her approach blends methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means clients learn practical skills to change unhelpful patterns while also exploring values and meaning. Claudia uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when people need help handling intense emotions.

She offers sessions in English and Spanish to make therapy more accessible to bilingual people. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

Claudia has six years of experience as an LPC in Texas. She aims to create a space where clients can talk honestly, try small changes, and build more confidence in daily life. To begin, people fill a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their timing.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions and uses empathy and nonjudgmental listening to support growth and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying skills-focused work for a while, then shifting to values and meaning, or mixing approaches as progress happens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do quick problem-solving, or have shorter touchpoints during a busy week. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and family commitments.
