About Claudia
Claudia Briceno is an LMHC with a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine and nine years of clinical experience working with people in Massachusetts and beyond. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and grief, and concerns such as self-esteem and eating or sleeping problems.
Claudia helps people strengthen communication and rebuild self-esteem. She emphasizes clear, mutual communication and practical steps for setting healthier boundaries. Sessions focus on learning skills that can be used day to day rather than abstract theory.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-influenced practices. That means attention to feelings and interaction patterns, paired with concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused approaches when those fit the client's goals.
Claudia speaks English and Spanish and supports people facing a wide range of life stresses. Her background in behavioral medicine informs an interest in how emotions, habits, and relationships affect daily functioning. She aims to help clients notice patterns and try small changes that add up over time.
Practical concerns such as career stress, compassion fatigue, postpartum mood changes, and challenges around sexuality and body image are also within her focus areas. For people navigating grief, chronic illness, or end-of-life issues she offers conversation that centers what matters most now.
How Claudia blends EFT, CBT and DBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It can help people name hard-to-reach feelings and notice how those feelings show up in relationships and daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will help you decide which methods suit your needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the mix as therapy progresses. That collaboration helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what you want to change.

Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while maintaining the same therapeutic methods they would use in person.
