About Claudia
Claudia Briceno is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical skills to help people facing stress and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults from Massachusetts and beyond. Claudia emphasizes straightforward communication and building simple tools that fit daily life.
She focuses on things that often feel overwhelming - anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, anger, career strain, and struggles with self-esteem.
Background and approach
Additional areas include postpartum mood changes, body image, and issues related to aging and end-of-life care. In sessions she aims to create space for people to understand their feelings and patterns. That might mean practicing calm breathing, trying a small behavior change, or naming emotions in a tense moment.
Claudia uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. Her work is practical and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set clear, doable goals.
Over time clients learn new ways to communicate, manage strong emotions, and make choices that match their values. Claudia trained at Boston University where she completed a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine. She brings nine years of clinical experience to each session and offers services to people who prefer English or Spanish.

Online support
Approach-driven care through online sessions
Claudia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people tune into and name the feelings that drive their behavior, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns and for managing strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which helps when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend steps to try. She often mixes techniques so sessions match what a person needs that week, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is low, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, handle quick mood check-ins, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for communication and practice.
