Henry Burciaga, LMFT

Henry Burciaga is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also supports people facing career changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and parenting struggles. Henry speaks English and Spanish and works with people across many life stages.

His approach is straightforward and person-focused. He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns in their thoughts and everyday habits. Sessions emphasize practical steps clients can try between visits, such as small behavior changes, new communication strategies, and mindful practices. The work often centers on improving relationships and coping with life changes.

Henry blends several methods to match what each person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy helps him follow each person’s priorities in session.

People with complex or long-term concerns can expect an experienced clinician who values cultural sensitivity and a nonjudgmental tone. Henry has supported individuals dealing with chronic illness, aging concerns, attachment questions, and serious life transitions. He aims to help people build resilience and find clearer purpose in daily life.

To begin, prospective clients follow a simple matching process and schedule sessions based on availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice strong feelings without getting stuck and then take small steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist following what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Henry will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as the work unfolds.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions into a workday or caregiving routine, and reducing travel time so people can focus on short, focused check-ins. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often use online sessions to make regular therapy easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
