Henry Burciaga , LMFT

Henry Burciaga is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy or relationship concerns. He also supports those coping with career challenges, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions. Henry works in both English and Spanish and practices in California.

Henry keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps clients name what feels stuck. Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. Many people come away with clearer goals and manageable next steps.

His approach combines evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness practices. That means Henry helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings, build values-based goals, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Over four decades he has supported people through caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, aging concerns, and major life changes. He also addresses issues such as attachment, impulsivity, isolation, and forgiveness. Henry adapts interventions to each person’s situation and cultural background.

People who contact him can expect a calm, respectful tone and a focus on concrete tools. He balances active teaching with listening so clients can try things between sessions and track progress. His experience aims to help people move toward clearer purpose and steadier daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Henry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and impulsive patterns.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which teaches practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action. ACT can help with stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Henry collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels usable in daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or mobility challenges.
