Claudia Briceno is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of practice. She uses clear communication and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem. Claudia emphasizes empathy and straightforward conversation in sessions. Claudia earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University. She focuses on helping people rebuild self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen everyday communication. Sessions often center on learning skills to handle difficult moments and improve connection with others. Her work includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood concerns, eating or sleeping struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people navigate life transitions, career stress, and sexual or gender identity questions. Jealousy and codependency are listed among areas she addresses. Claudia draws on several practical approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to improve attachment and closeness. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are woven in to help people notice the present moment and build on strengths. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Claudia practices from Massachusetts and accepts international clients. She aims to be transparent and collaborative, helping each person find tools that fit their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Claudia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness and practical, goal-oriented work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on improving emotional connection and communication, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns. She views finding the right approach as a joint process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative rhythm helps tailor tools to a person’s life and priorities rather than following a single fixed method. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue therapy while living in different places, which is useful given that she accepts international clients. Claudia aims to help people apply skills learned in sessions directly to everyday routines, whether sessions are in person or offered remotely.
