About Henry

Henry Burciaga is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

He frames his work around honest listening and collaborative problem solving, aiming to help clients clarify values, strengthen communication, and rebuild emotional balance after loss, addiction, or intense life transitions.

His therapeutic practice blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused interventions with a client-centered stance that emphasizes respect for each person’s cultural background and lived experience. Henry attends to issues like intimacy, parenting challenges, grief, career stress, and compassion fatigue while also addressing additional concerns from chronic illness to attachment struggles.

Sessions may incorporate coaching elements to support concrete change alongside deeper psychotherapy. Fluent in English and Spanish, he works with clients across California and accepts international clients.

Henry offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere that prioritizes practical coping skills as well as deeper exploration of meaning and life purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life-direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and skill-building, often supporting work on depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that complement both ACT and CBT when managing emotional reactivity and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend elements from different models so the plan fits the individual’s situation and desired outcomes.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible ways to receive care without travel. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access help from different locations while working with licensed professionals who adapt therapeutic tools to each medium.
