Christian Waller , LPC

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned a Master’s degree from Augusta University in 2017 and has delivered both individual and group therapy to children, teens, and adults since graduation. He concentrates on helping people process trauma and reduce the impact of traumatic stress while also addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and questions related to sexuality and gender expression.

Trained in a range of evidence-based methods, Christian incorporates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into his work. In TF-CBT he emphasizes the interconnection of affect, behavior, and cognition when exploring how people experience their lives.

He views goal-setting as an important part of the therapeutic process, using short-term and long-term objectives to guide work while remaining open to adjustments as needs and priorities change. Christian approaches each person with respect and compassion regardless of gender, age, sexuality, or other differences, and he aims to create an environment where differences and similarities can be acknowledged in service of meeting individual needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Christian integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - a practical way to work through difficult thoughts and emotions while focusing on meaningful actions. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental relationship to support people as they explore their feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach he applies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christian works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to meet with a therapist without commuting, supporting scheduling around work, family, and other commitments. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
