About Carleen
Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work often centers on practical changes that make daily life feel more manageable.
Clients meet a calm, down-to-earth clinician who listens first and asks questions that get to the point. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Carleen uses straightforward tools to address worries, sleep problems, panic, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful space where a person’s own goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help with overwhelm and grounding when anxiety rises.
Carleen also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to support change when people feel stuck. That can look like short-term planning, clear steps, and checking progress each week. The focus is on practical skills people can use between sessions.
Her practice addresses many life areas including parenting stress, career concerns, body image, attachment issues, trauma and abuse, and panic attacks. Conversations often blend skill building with honest reflection about values, purpose, and relationships. The tone is collaborative, respectful, and oriented toward manageable progress.
Approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s goals and building a supportive, respectful working relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a space to clarify values, process emotions, and decide what changes matter most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and low mood because it breaks down problems into steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus. These practices can help with overwhelm, rumination, and stress management in short daily practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss goals, and recommend approaches that match your needs and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or schedules shift.
