About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who works with clients seeking help for trauma, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He offers individual and group therapeutic services and draws on seven years of clinical experience to support people processing traumatic stress, exploring sexuality and gender expression, and addressing concerns such as relationship difficulties, parenting, grief, and self-esteem. Christian integrates evidence-based methods into a flexible, goal-oriented practice.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered techniques, and trauma-focused strategies to address how emotions, behaviors, and thoughts interact. He emphasizes setting short-term and long-term goals while remaining open to revising them as needs evolve.

Committed to treating clients with respect and compassion regardless of gender, age, or sexuality, Christian tailors sessions to individual needs and preferences. His approach aims to expand coping options and strengthen personal agency so clients can move toward the changes they want to make in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christian frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance skills to help people live more intentionally despite difficult emotions. He also draws on Client-Centered principles, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients feel heard while they explore goals and changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, assess what feels most relevant, and try techniques that match the client’s needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted as progress and priorities shift, so clients remain active partners in shaping their care.

Online therapy with Christian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to practice skills between meetings while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
