About Claudia
Claudia Briceno is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience in Massachusetts. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and issues that affect self-esteem. Claudia talks through practical skills for everyday coping and clear communication.
Claudia earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University. She guides people toward rebuilding self-respect, setting boundaries, and improving how they relate to others. Sessions emphasize learning tools that can be put into practice between meetings.
Her approach is structured and skill-based. Claudia uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness exercises when emotional understanding and regulation are needed.
Clients bring a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career stress. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, postpartum concerns, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identities.
Claudia works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. She stresses clear communication and transparency during sessions. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Claudia uses structured approaches in online sessions
Claudia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT breaks concerns into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, and offers clear exercises to try between sessions to see what changes. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are practical for managing intense emotions and improving communication under stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will review symptoms, goals, and preferences with the client and suggest which methods to prioritize. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Different approaches lend themselves to different session rhythms - CBT can use structured between-session tasks, while DBT often pairs skill practice with real-time coaching in sessions - and Claudia will help plan how to use the time effectively.Areas of expertise
