Carleen Waller

Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience in Texas. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support. Her work often centers on anxiety, depression, relationships, and questions about identity and purpose.

Clients meet a therapist who listens first and asks clear questions. Sessions explore what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Carleen uses simple tools to manage stress, panic, and sleepless nights while also addressing deeper concerns like shame, attachment, and body image.

She combines conversation with hands-on strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices offer ways to settle attention and reduce reactivity in tense moments. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change.

Carleen often helps people navigate life transitions and the strain of parenting or career shifts. She also works with clients facing trauma, intimacy-related issues, and eating and food-related concerns. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, with a focus on building self-understanding and practical next steps.

People who choose her therapy can expect clear goals and measurable small steps between sessions. The aim is realistic progress rather than quick fixes. Carleen frames therapy as a shared process aimed at rebuilding strengths and improving daily functioning.

Approaches that guide online work

Carleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to shape many of her online sessions. CBT involves noticing patterns of thought that lead to unhelpful feelings or actions and testing small behavioral experiments to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer decision making.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities, and Motivational Interviewing when someone feels unsure about change. Together these approaches help address anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, and life transitions. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods to try based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking to confirm what is currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helps them keep momentum between appointments while working on practical skills and real-life changes.
