Her clinical training included a practicum on the psychiatric ward of a county hospital and work with people housed in the Astrodome after Hurricane Katrina. Her internship focused on clients with eating disorders, deepening her understanding of the complexities those clients face.
For 15 years, she worked in neuropsychological testing, conducting thorough evaluations of mental, cognitive, and emotional functioning.

Approaches and online therapy with Claudia Burns
Claudia Burns uses therapeutic methods that combine practical skills and deeper emotional work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships, offering insight for those working through recurring emotional themes. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current bonds and coping, helping clients improve relationship patterns and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses to best support each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily routines, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
