About Carlisle

Carlisle Bergquist is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas, bringing 35 years of professional experience to his work. Before returning to Kansas, he provided therapy in California at a school for troubled children and later in a maximum security jail. Over the course of his career he has worked with clients facing a wide range of disorders as well as relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, confidence issues, and matters that arise during spiritual emergence.

He studied Transpersonal Psychology at John F. Kennedy University and at the Saybrook Institute in the San Francisco area. While he integrates several therapeutic modalities, his session work is primarily Rogarian, which emphasizes a person-centered stance marked by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He views the human spirit as resilient and capable of significant healing with encouragement, and positions himself to participate, encourage, and witness clients' growth and recovery.

Bergquist tailors therapeutic work to each client's unique needs and sees the decision to begin therapy as an act of courage and commitment to change. He considers finding a therapist who inspires trust to be one of the most important aspects of successful treatment, and he values forming a strong therapeutic relationship. Having heard many life stories across diverse settings, he welcomes inquiries from prospective clients who are ready to begin.

Client-Centered, Mindful, and Motivational Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, person-centered stance where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance, helping clients explore their feelings and work toward improved relationships and self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can reduce rumination and improve coping with stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. Motivational Interviewing focuses on eliciting a client's own reasons for change, supporting increased motivation and commitment when addressing issues like addictions, ambivalence, or lifestyle changes.

Bergquist approaches the selection of methods collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. He works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts techniques over time to find the best fit for each person.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity across locations, and access support when in-person work is difficult. These options allow therapy to be more accessible while preserving the relational focus that underpins effective work with a therapist.
