    About Carleen

    Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Many clients seek her support for issues like social anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting stress, and changes in career or family life.

    Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can use between meetings. She listens for strengths and builds on them while addressing patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

    Carleen integrates several gentle, evidence-informed approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies are used to manage stress and create short-term progress.

    Clients commonly work on communication skills, coping tools for panic and anxiety, sleep routines, and repairing trust after hurtful experiences. She also supports those navigating identity questions, body image, and forgiveness work. The focus is practical - small changes that make everyday life feel more manageable.

    Carleen aims to make therapy understandable and usable. She helps set realistic steps and checks in on what’s working. People who want a respectful, encouraging approach that combines touchstone skills and motivational support may find her approach useful.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Carleen uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify why they want change and to find personal motivation that fits their life. This is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach; it focuses on listening, validating experiences, and letting the person lead discussions about what matters most.

    She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT tools often include short exercises or homework that can be practiced between sessions, which makes progress measurable and practical.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape sessions and the pace of change.

    If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce travel time so people can focus on real-life skill practice between meetings.
