Christian Waller , LPC

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned a Master of Arts from Augusta University in 2017. He has delivered both individual and group therapy for children, teens, and adults, drawing on training across several evidence-based modalities to tailor care to each person's needs.

His primary emphasis is on processing trauma and lessening the effects of traumatic stress, though his experience also includes working with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and questions related to discovering or exploring sexuality and gender expression. He integrates therapeutic tools to address relationship, family, and intimacy-related issues as well as life transitions such as grief, caregiving stress, and self-esteem challenges.

Waller has been trained in approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In TF-CBT he learned the ABCs concept - that affect, behaviors, and cognitions interact in shaping how people experience their lives - and he often draws on techniques from multiple models when designing a treatment plan.

He emphasizes goal-setting as a practical guide through therapy, balancing short-term steps and longer-term aims while remaining open to changes in direction as needs evolve. Waller treats people with respect and compassion regardless of gender, age, sexuality, or background, and he works collaboratively to identify options and paths forward for each individual.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Christian Waller uses approaches that translate well to remote care and focus on practical change and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it is often structured and goal-oriented. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and practice acceptance alongside committed action, which can help with stress, avoidance, and living more in line with personal priorities. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist provides empathy and support while clients lead the pace and topics of exploration.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Waller works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and he blends techniques when appropriate so that the plan fits each person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to access licensed professionals from a range of settings and schedules. These options can make regular sessions easier to attend, allow ongoing check-ins between appointments, and support consistent progress while accommodating a client’s life and responsibilities.
