About Carleen
Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Carleen also addresses shame and guilt alongside self-esteem, social anxiety, and parenting challenges.
Her sessions prioritize clear, practical conversation. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them name the patterns that keep causing pain. Work may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to respond, and testing small changes between sessions.
Carleen often uses client-centered techniques to build understanding of a person's feelings and values. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to challenge thinking that fuels anxiety or depression. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used to bring immediate, usable skills into daily life.
People contact her about relationship communication, difficulty with intimacy, and family-related stress. She also supports those dealing with trauma, sleep problems, or the ups and downs of bipolar mood. Issues around body image, control, and eating concerns are within her scope as well.
Sessions are practical and goal oriented while attending to the emotional experience under the problem. She encourages small experiments that test new ways of coping. If someone is unsure where to begin, she asks a few clear questions to find the first step.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Carleen uses client-centered work to listen closely to what matters to each person, helping them clarify values and identify emotional patterns that keep recurring. That approach is useful for sorting through guilt, shame, and difficult relationship feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to locate unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT gives concrete exercises for anxiety, low mood, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to build simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable, and then suggest practices or experiments to try together. That collaboration helps shape each week's focus.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises so they can be practiced in everyday settings, which helps integrate new skills into daily life.
