Henry Burciaga, LMFT

Practical, experienced support for life's hard moments

About Henry

Henry Burciaga helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction. He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 40 years of clinical experience in California.

Background and approach

He speaks English and Spanish and works with a wide range of life concerns from grief to self-esteem and career questions. His sessions focus on practical steps that make daily life easier.

He listens first, then helps people name what matters and set small, doable goals. He uses plain language and steady guidance rather than jargon, so parents and busy adults can follow along easily.

Henry blends several approaches to match a person's needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and emotionally-focused methods to address relationship hurts.

Mindfulness tools are used to build calm and increase awareness in stressful moments. Over four decades he has worked with issues that often overlap, like compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and changes that come with aging.

He also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, communication breakdowns, and life-purpose questions. His experience includes supporting Spanish speakers and those who are hearing impaired.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Henry helps people build skills they can use between appointments, practice new ways of relating, and track progress over time.

He encourages steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Henry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of stress, worry, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This makes it easier to focus on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone meetings can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied situations.
