About Carleen
Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or life transitions. She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and concerns related to ADHD.
Her sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals. Conversations are focused on small, doable steps rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Carleen uses tools from client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in each person's values and strengths. She brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Mindfulness methods are used to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment focus.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when clients need help clarifying goals or finding quick, workable changes. These approaches are aimed at moving people toward clearer choices and more consistent follow-through. Many clients come wanting help with sleep, panic, or feeling stuck after big life changes.
Carleen helps people break problems into parts and build routines that fit daily life. Her style is practical, warm, and goal-oriented, with attention to how symptoms show up in real situations.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Carleen often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood shifts.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means the conversation stays focused on the client's values and strengths. This approach helps people feel heard while they explore goals like better relationships or clearer routines.
Finding the right method is a shared process. Carleen works with clients to choose or blend approaches based on their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts as the work progresses.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in option, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
