Henry Burciaga

Henry Burciaga is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He has 40 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and grief. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and issues tied to self-esteem and life purpose.

Henry uses a blend of practical talk therapy and mindfulness-based skills. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, simpler coping tools, and ways to improve communication with others. He works in both English and Spanish.

Over four decades Henry has worked with adults at different life stages, including older adults facing aging or chronic illness concerns. He emphasizes cultural awareness and listens for the values shaping each person's choices. That background informs how he helps people manage chronic pain, cancer-related stress, and caregiving strain.

In the therapy room he draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods are used to build emotional awareness, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen connection with what matters most.

His practice encourages steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How mindful and evidence-based approaches translate online

Henry often uses Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that work well over distance. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple awareness exercises and learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away; it can help with stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and coping with life changes. ACT helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult emotions show up; it’s useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation-related struggles.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration so each person’s goals shape the work. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself; the therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then decide together what to try first. That shared planning helps tailor mindfulness and ACT tools to daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care while managing chronic illness, caregiving duties, or work hours. If you have questions about how sessions are scheduled or which format might suit your routine, ask when you complete the matching questionnaire.
