About Claudia
Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings a direct and compassionate style to therapy. She uses plain talk and warmth to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish so clients can speak in the language that feels right for them.
Claudia draws on several practical approaches to help people make changes that last.
How Claudia works
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take steps that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered listening help people manage strong emotions and feel understood.
Her work focuses on everyday pressures as well as deeper issues. Common concerns include self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, communication problems, immigration-related stress, and questions about gender or sexual identity.
Claudia aims to make sessions feel like a real conversation. She prioritizes clear communication and practical strategies you can use between sessions. With six years of experience, she supports people who want steady, collaborative help finding direction and relief.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT often helps when someone feels stuck by worry or avoidance and wants a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors that lead to better day-to-day functioning. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and work or relationship stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also offered to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those who need concrete tools.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
