Henry Burciaga

Henry Burciaga is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of experience. He helps people who are stressed, dealing with anxiety, handling anger, or facing relationship and family difficulties. He also supports those coping with depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and challenges around intimacy or parenting.

Henry uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. He listens first, then helps people identify what matters most and what gets in the way. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit into everyday life and rebuild a sense of control and hope.

He draws on several well-known approaches, including acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused strategies, mindfulness, and client-centered care. These methods are adapted to each person’s situation rather than applied the same way for everyone. Therapy may include skill-building, exploring emotions, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.

Henry pays attention to culture, life stage, and personal history. He has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, career shifts, and issues tied to identity and sexuality. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he works with international clients when that fits the need.

People who choose Henry can expect calm, direct guidance and a steady focus on goals. He supports movement toward clearer communication, better emotional regulation, and more satisfying relationships.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps when emotions or fear get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them into more useful patterns, which can reduce anxiety and reactive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the person leads the pace and the therapist reflects and supports growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Henry works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He may blend elements from different approaches to find what fits best for each situation.

The biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people attend from different locations, which helps when schedules or life circumstances change.
