Claudio Barrientos

I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and mindfulness-based therapist providing online therapy for adolescents and adults in North Carolina and Texas. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions, particularly with high-performing professionals and men seeking greater clarity, balance, and emotional resilience. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I help clients develop practical tools to better regulate emotions, reduce overthinking, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with what matters most in their lives. As a Qualified MBSR Teacher through Brown University, I bring both clinical expertise and mindfulness training into therapy in a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative way. My style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental, creating a space where clients can slow down, gain insight, and move toward meaningful change.
