About Carien

Carien Myburgh uses a practical, results-oriented style centered on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients move through negative beliefs, lingering trauma, and emotions that interfere with daily life.

Background and approach

She emphasizes timely progress while recognizing that deeper wounds sometimes need a gentler, slower pace; treatment is tailored to meet clients where they are and to balance momentum with careful attention to sensitive material.

Born and raised in South Africa, she holds an Honors degree in Psychology earned in 1986 and completed a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012.

Carien has worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for 13 years, supporting people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addiction concerns, anger and self-esteem issues, parenting struggles, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Her additional focus areas include control issues, family of origin dynamics, fertility concerns, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose questions, social anxiety and phobia, and drug and alcohol addiction. Carien conducts sessions in English and Afrikaans and provides care only to clients residing in Texas due to licensing regulations.

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Carien often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method breaks problems into manageable parts and is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and social anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that work by concentrating on practical, goal-oriented steps and identifying strengths and resources to create forward movement in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns to determine whether CBT, solution-focused strategies, or a blend of both best fits a client’s needs, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Carien is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work and family schedules and to increase access for those living in Texas. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on concrete skills, problem solving, and emotional processing in a way that fits a client’s life.
