About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate major life changes and the stress that comes with them. He works with clients on grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and issues around sexuality and gender expression. Christian speaks plainly and focuses on clear goals to guide therapy sessions.

He uses practical techniques drawn from several approaches to help people manage strong emotions and upsetting memories. Sessions often look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and what small steps can reduce distress. Christian encourages short-term and long-term goals so progress is visible and adjustments can be made as needed.

Christian earned a master’s degree from Augusta University in 2017 and has seven years of clinical experience. He has provided individual and group therapy to children, teens, and adults and has spent a lot of time helping people process traumatic stress.

In sessions he pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other methods. He explains ideas simply and helps clients try techniques during and between sessions.

Christian emphasizes respect and compassion for people of all genders and sexualities. He helps people consider options, set realistic goals, and adjust plans when life shifts. He welcomes conversations that clarify what a client wants from therapy.

How his approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating big life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help someone find their own solutions and goals. This approach can be helpful when someone needs a space to sort out identity, relationships, or parenting concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christian will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He may combine strategies and adjust plans as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, support steady follow-up between sessions, and allow for focused skill practice without travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will best suit your schedule and whether brief check-ins or longer sessions will meet your needs.
