About Claudia Leyton-De la Torre

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist in Texas, and I help people work through the emotional ups and downs that life throws their way. My style is warm, honest, and real—I want you to feel safe being completely yourself in our sessions. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions, and I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, not an interrogation. I’m especially passionate about helping people build self-love, communicate more clearly, and feel more grounded in who they are. Whether you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or uncertain about what’s next, we’ll figure it out together. I offer sessions in English and Spanish to connect with clients from all backgrounds, and my goal is simple: to help you feel seen, supported, and capable of real change.

“She is great and works with me well”

“Claudia has been so helpful on my mental health journey. She has listened attentively and has given such thoughtful advice. She has such a soothing voice which was great to calm me down during sessions when I couldn’t stop crying. She is so sweet and great at validating feelings. Claudia is an all around amazing therapist!”

“A great counselor, responded quickly and very supportive on validating my feelings. Listened to what I had to say and guided me to also understand my feelings a little more. I love it! ”

“She is great. Always gives advice that just makes sense ”

“So far only 1 session but she provided adequate advice and I can tell she listens. She easy to talk to on a comforting way where I feel no judgement at all. This is also my first time using this type of therapy so I don’t have anything to compare it to. ”

“Claudia is awesome, and so helpful!”

“I really enjoy my sessions on betthelp. I couldn’t ask for a better counselor. ”

“I’m really glad I got to work with Claudia. She was a good listener and good at helping me find clarity and get back in the right mindset to work on my mental health. Because of my move out of state I only got to work with her for a short time, but she made the most of that time and understood what I needed help with. She also let me guide the sessions to be what I needed most in the moment and that approach worked well for me. ”

“This has been the best experience for me with coping with my relationship issues. Claudia has been instrumental in my personal growth and has helped me cope with a difficult decision in a short period of time. I cant imagine what I would have done without her. I would love to keep her as my counselor just on standby in general. ”
