About Carleen
Carleen Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, parenting stress, and life transitions. She also addresses trauma, sleep problems, ADHD, and career-related stress.
Clients commonly come with worries about social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and difficulty communicating with people who matter to them. Carleen helps people talk through those situations and develop clearer ways to express needs. She also supports adults coping with guilt, shame, and forgiveness challenges.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and thoughtful reflection. She draws on Client-Centered methods to keep conversations directed by the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are incorporated to help with stress, panic, and sleep regulation. Solution-Focused and Motivational Interviewing strategies are used when people want brief, goal-oriented work or help finding next steps. These tools are selected to match each person's goals and preferences.
Carleen works with young adults on issues like transitioning roles, work stress, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with family problems and the strains of parenting. Her approach aims to be straightforward and practical, helping people make small changes that fit into daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions are driven by what the person brings that day, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting to clarify concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often involves short exercises and homework to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ground strong emotions. These techniques can help with panic, rumination, and sleep problems and are easy to practice in day-to-day life. Carleen will work together with each person to decide which approaches feel most useful, adjusting methods over time based on goals and preferences. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into work breaks, avoid travel time, and choose quieter moments that suit their schedule. Others like brief check-ins or exercises that are easy to use between meetings. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect is part of the first meeting.Areas of focus
