About Henry

Henry Burciaga is a licensed marriage and family therapist with forty years of experience in California. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD-related concerns. Henry focuses on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, low self-esteem, parenting strain, and changes in life or career.

He uses simple, direct conversation to make sense of difficult moments. Sessions are grounded in clear goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings.

Background and approach

Henry listens for each person's values and priorities and helps them build habits that reflect those things. Henry blends methods that include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and emotion-focused work. That mix helps when patterns of thinking, strong feelings, or relationship cycles keep getting in the way.

He also draws on acceptance-based strategies to help people live with difficult thoughts while still moving toward meaningful goals. His practice pays attention to cultural background and life stage. Henry has long experience supporting people through trauma, addictions, compassion fatigue, chronic illness concerns, and the emotional effects of aging.

He also addresses less visible struggles like isolation, shame, and difficulties with intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Henry describes therapy as a collaborative process - he helps set the pace, but the person seeking help guides the goals.

The focus is practical: clearer communication, better coping skills, and a stronger sense of direction.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences stop them from doing what matters. It focuses on values-based action and small, manageable steps toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches skills to change those patterns. Mindfulness therapy builds attention to the present moment and can reduce reactivity to stress and overwhelm.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will talk about options and try methods that match the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust the plan when something isn't helping.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text let people check in, do shorter coaching-style work, or follow up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily routines.
