Claudia Leyton-De la Torre

Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on real-life struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She meets people where they are and aims to make sessions feel like honest conversation rather than an interrogation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to support bilingual clients.

Her approach centers on helping people build self-esteem and clearer communication. She uses practical techniques to help clients manage emotions and cope with life changes. That includes support for grief, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Claudia also pays attention to background themes such as attachment issues, family of origin problems, blended family challenges, and immigration-related stress. She works with concerns around body image, guilt and shame, and identity questions including gender dysphoria. These topics often shape how people relate to others and themselves, and she addresses them in straightforward ways.

Clinically, she draws from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered work, and existential ideas. That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person's needs, combining skill-building with reflective conversation.

With six years of clinical experience, Claudia aims to help people feel seen and capable of change. If you want a calm, down-to-earth practitioner who speaks English or Spanish, she may be a good match.

How Claudia’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and stress levels; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to build insight and self-acceptance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will help figure out which methods fit your needs, goals, and personal style. That process is collaborative, with space to try things and adjust based on what helps you most.
