Christian Waller , LPC

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned a master s degree from Augusta University in 2017 and has provided individual and group therapy to children, teens, and adults since graduation. His practice centers on processing trauma and reducing the effects of traumatic stress, while also addressing concerns related to anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and questions about sexuality or gender expression.

He integrates a range of evidence-based techniques, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In trauma-focused work he emphasizes the interconnectedness of emotions, behaviors, and thoughts - often described as affect, behavior, and cognition - and uses that framework to help clients reframe experiences and build coping strategies.

Christian emphasizes goal-oriented treatment, helping clients set both short-term and long-term goals while remaining open to revising plans as needs change. He believes that identifying options and routes forward can reveal more choices than clients initially perceive. He approaches every person with respect and compassion, attending to differences in age, gender, and sexual identity to tailor care to each individual s needs.

Christian brings seven years of clinical experience to his work and combines practical skills with a collaborative stance to support clients through life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, attention and focus concerns, and a wide range of stress-related issues.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. It is often used for chronic stress, anxiety, and helping clients respond differently to painful memories or emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and many everyday challenges that affect mood and functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive stance in which the therapist provides understanding and support so clients can explore their own solutions. This approach can be especially helpful for improving self-esteem, clarifying goals, and navigating relationship or identity concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christian works with clients and licensed professionals to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailors treatment using one or a combination of methods to suit each person s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions occur - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapy from different locations. These options allow therapists to deliver consistent, adaptable support that aligns with each client s routine and communication style.
