About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and exploration of sexuality and gender expression.

He uses a mix of evidence-based methods in session. That often looks like identifying links between emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, then testing small changes in thinking or action. Sessions focus on clear goals - both short-term steps and longer-term aims - and those goals are reviewed and adjusted as needed.

Christian has provided individual and group services and has experience helping people process traumatic stress. He draws on approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work to shape each session.

In practical terms he helps people name what matters, try different coping strategies, and track what works. He encourages straightforward discussion about difficult topics such as abandonment, attachment, parenting challenges, blended family issues, and concerns related to sexuality or kink culture.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow a goal-oriented style. Christian emphasizes respect for differences in gender, sexuality, and life experience, and adapts the pace so clients can make steady progress without feeling rushed.

How sessions work

How Christian applies evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. Online ACT work often helps people living with anxiety, stress, or life changes to pick specific behaviors that reflect what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT tools include short exercises and homework to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be useful when strong emotions or relationship tensions make everyday life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christian will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different therapies so clients can try practical strategies and adjust the plan as they learn what helps.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into daily life - for example, a shorter check-in during a break, or meeting without commuting. This can help parents and busy adults maintain consistent progress while juggling home responsibilities.
