About Carien
Carien Myburgh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses focused, practical approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to help people move past limiting beliefs and painful memories so they can spend more time feeling lighter and more capable. She believes change can happen relatively quickly but also knows some topics need gentleness and patience.
Sessions balance action-oriented steps with space to process deeper hurts without rushing them.
Background and approach
Carien trained in South Africa and later completed a master’s degree in counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. She has practiced for 13 years and works under Texas licensure. Her background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain.
In therapy she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and build practical habits. That mix is often used for managing anxiety, social fears, and coping with big life changes. Carien also supports people dealing with control issues, family of origin themes, fertility struggles, guilt and shame, and isolation.
She conducts sessions in English and Afrikaans and provides multiple online formats for scheduling convenience.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Carien draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on small, practical steps and skills that can reduce worry and improve mood over time.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions goal-directed and efficient. That approach emphasizes current strengths and actionable strategies to reach specific outcomes, which can feel helpful when dealing with stress, addictions, or life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carien collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She may try a few techniques and adjust based on what feels most useful in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when audio-only fits your day or bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity through life changes.
