About Henry
Henry Burciaga is an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
He favors clear, practical work in sessions. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and practice small changes outside sessions. He also uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce avoidance and build workable routines.
Henry draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. He explains ideas in plain language and focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Sessions often include skill-building, behavioral experiments, and coaching around daily challenges.
He has long experience supporting people through life transitions, career stress, chronic health issues, and caregiving concerns. Henry also works with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and issues tied to aging and chronic illness. He offers services in English and Spanish for clients in California and international clients as noted.
Practicality matters in his approach. He helps people set short-term goals and tracks progress with straightforward techniques. If a particular method does not fit, he adjusts the plan and tries another approach until clients find what works for them.
How his approaches translate to online work
Henry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT tools are practical - thought records, activity planning, and behavioral experiments that can be assigned between sessions to track change.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which emphasizes noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT techniques aim to reduce avoidance and increase committed, values-based behavior in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Henry will work collaboratively to review what helps and what does not. He adjusts methods based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some methods also adapt well to phone or video formats because they focus on skills practice and homework rather than lengthy in-person exercises.
