Claudia Leyton-De la Torre , LPC

Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who supports people navigating the emotional highs and lows of life. With a warm, honest, and straightforward approach, she creates a space where clients can be themselves and speak openly about what matters to them. Her work focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and she frames therapy as a real conversation rather than a formal interrogation.

She places particular emphasis on helping people cultivate self-love, improve communication, and feel more grounded in their sense of self. Claudia blends practical strategies with compassionate listening to help clients move through periods of feeling stuck, stressed, or uncertain about next steps. Sessions are offered in both English and Spanish to better meet the needs of bilingual individuals and families.

Claudia aims to help each person feel seen, supported, and capable of meaningful change. Her practice is guided by evidence-informed methods and a commitment to honest, collaborative work that honors each person’s values and goals.

How Her Therapeutic Approaches Translate to Online Care

Claudia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and focus on what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and develop healthier habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches to suit the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Claudia is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, helping people integrate therapy into busy lives.
