About Carleen
Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the pressures that come with early adulthood.
She works with people on a range of concerns including social anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and communication problems. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, parenting stress, sleep issues, ADHD, and career questions. Young adult issues are listed among her focus areas, reflecting work with people navigating school, early jobs, and shifting identities.
In sessions she uses conversational, client-centered methods. Conversations tend to focus on what feels most pressing and practical steps a person can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness strategies to help manage unhelpful thinking and overwhelming emotions.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of her approach when people want help setting goals and planning next steps. That can mean short-term skill building or longer work on patterns that cause repeated problems. People often bring concerns about guilt, shame, body image, or isolation and she helps them name patterns and test different ways of responding.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Appointments usually include talking, reflecting, and trying small experiments. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions use that same conversational stance to identify what feels most urgent and useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thinking patterns and test new behaviors; online meetings can include short exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that can be guided in-session and practiced afterward to reduce stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to prioritize based on goals and what feels workable. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as needs change rather than committing to a single method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help young adults balance therapy with school, work, and other responsibilities.
