About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people sort through distressing life events and persistent worries. He aims to make sessions feel steady and practical so clients can notice small changes that matter. Christian emphasizes clear goals and a down-to-earth pace when people feel overwhelmed by choices or emotions.

Christian earned a master’s degree from Augusta University in 2017 and has seven years of clinical experience. He has provided both individual and group services and focuses on processing trauma and reducing the effects of traumatic stress. He also works with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, exploration of sexuality and gender expression, and other personal issues people bring to session.

Christian combines approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered ideas. He draws techniques from different methods and connects emotions, behaviors, and thoughts to everyday experience. Goals are used as a guide and are adjusted as needed during therapy.

Session work often includes practical exercises, skills practice, and conversations that help people clarify next steps. Christian stresses respect and compassion for differences in gender, age, and sexual identity. He encourages people to try short-term steps while keeping longer-term aims in sight.

People who want help with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, attention difficulties, or financial and money-related strain can discuss those topics in session. Christian asks clients to set goals together and to change direction when needed.

Online approaches that inform remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction after big life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills. It can be useful when strong emotions or relationship cycles feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what works and what feels manageable. Clients help shape the plan as they learn which tools fit their life.

If you prefer remote care, check which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, allow quick check-ins when stress spikes, and let people use quieter surroundings or less bandwidth when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises, homework, and conversations so they translate to an online setting.
