Christian Waller, LPC

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people process trauma and reduce the effects of traumatic stress. He also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, questions about sexuality or gender expression, and other concerns they want to work through. His style is straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on setting short-term and long-term steps to guide progress.

Christian earned a master's degree from Augusta University in 2017 and has seven years of clinical experience since graduation. He has provided both individual and group therapy to children, teens, and adults, which has shaped a flexible approach to different ages and needs. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals can change as clients learn more about themselves.

He draws on several evidence-based methods and borrows techniques from different approaches to match what each person needs. Christian pays attention to how emotions, behaviors, and thoughts interact and uses that understanding to plan practical work in sessions. He values clear, realistic goals to keep therapy focused and measurable.

Respect and compassion are central to his work, and he aims to create a space where differences in gender, sexuality, or background are met without judgment. He encourages people to explore options, consider new directions, and try different routes toward change. Christian notes that goals are not fixed and can be adjusted as the therapeutic work progresses.

People looking to start can expect a therapist who listens, offers concrete steps, and helps them weigh choices. He looks forward to supporting clients through trauma-related recovery and other life challenges.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and moving forward after trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs space to explore identity, relationships, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques may be adjusted over time as progress is made and needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed on the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or offering a quieter setting when that helps concentration. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, Client-Centered methods, and CBT to remote work so clients can practice skills between sessions and bring real-life challenges into therapy for immediate problem-solving.
