About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to help people feeling stuck by focusing on clear, practical goals. He writes plainly and meets people where they are, guiding conversations about trauma, anxiety, depression, identity, and other concerns that show up in daily life.

He takes a goal-oriented approach that still leaves room to change direction. Short-term steps help make progress feel possible. Longer-term goals give a sense of where therapy is headed, and plans can be adjusted as needs shift.

Christian trained at Augusta University and has practiced since completing his master's degree in 2017. Over seven years he has provided both individual and group therapy for children, teens, and adults. His background includes focused work around trauma and traumatic stress along with experience supporting people with OCD, mood concerns, and exploration of sexuality or gender expression.

In sessions he blends techniques from several evidence-based approaches. He emphasizes how feelings, behaviors, and thoughts connect, and uses practical strategies drawn from those methods to reduce distress and build coping skills. He also pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns when they affect day-to-day life.

Christian lists adoption and foster care among his additional focus areas and can address related issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns. He works with respect and compassion for differences in gender, sexuality, and life experience, and speaks English.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Christian draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that are easy to use in online sessions. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take steps aligned with those values even when difficult feelings show up. CBT focuses on practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression.

He also integrates Client-Centered principles, which means sessions begin with the person's goals and priorities and progress happens at a collaborative pace. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful and make adjustments along the way rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, school, and family time and reducing travel time. Some people find remote sessions easier for brief check-ins or skills practice, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper processing; confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. The therapist helps shape scheduling and the therapeutic plan to fit everyday life and the client's goals.
