Christian Waller, LPC

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people work through trauma, anxiety, and relationship concerns. He uses clear goals and practical steps to make therapy feel manageable. Christian aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about identity, sexuality, grief, and day-to-day stressors.

Christian earned a master’s degree from Augusta University in 2017 and has seven years of practice. He has provided individual and group therapy to children, teens, and adults and often focuses on processing traumatic stress. He also supports people facing depression, OCD, and worries about exploring sexuality or gender expression.

His approach draws from several evidence-based methods. Christian mixes techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to match each person’s needs. He pays attention to how emotions, behaviors, and thoughts interact during everyday life.

Christian works with short-term and long-term goals and adjusts plans as needed. He emphasizes options and small steps so progress feels realistic. He treats people with respect and compassion, regardless of gender, age, or sexuality.

Clients can expect a practical focus in sessions, with attention to coping skills and clearer decision-making. Christian aims to help people find more choices and less overwhelm as they move forward.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. It helps when worries, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills, which can be helpful when stress, anger, or intense emotions feel hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports consistent practice of skills between sessions and gentle pacing for people processing trauma or grief.
