About Carleen
Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Carleen aims to make therapy straightforward and useful so people can start feeling steadier in day-to-day life.
Her sessions are friendly and collaborative. She listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of rest, connection, or confidence. Conversations include practical tools and short experiments to try between meetings.
Carleen draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to reduce racing thoughts and improve sleep and rest. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work aligned with each person’s values and goals. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are added when someone wants clear steps and momentum.
Carleen often helps people untangle issues around self-esteem, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses trauma, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and career transitions in ways that aim to be manageable and concrete. Sleeping and rest difficulties are part of the concerns she supports.
Her style is warm but direct. She balances empathy with practical strategies so people leave sessions with something to try. To begin, visitors choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Carleen commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques online. Client-centered therapy means the conversation focuses on the person’s values and priorities, so sessions shape themselves around what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of responding; it can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help slow racing thoughts and support better rest. These practices are taught in short, guided exercises and simple daily routines that people can try between sessions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree on a plan to test and adjust over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, drop in for a shorter check-in when needed, or practice mindfulness and sleep strategies in a familiar routine. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and worksheets for remote sessions so people leave with concrete steps to try at home.
