Carlos Castillo, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Carlos

Carlos Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. He introduces himself plainly and aims to help people facing major life changes and stress. He communicates in English and Spanish and brings three years of formal experience as an LPC.

Carlos emphasizes a practical, person-centered style. In early sessions he listens closely and works with clients to set clear, reachable goals. He uses motivational interviewing to encourage readiness for change and borrows tools from cognitive-behavioral work when habits or thinking patterns get in the way.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on real problems like stress, anxiety, sleep struggles, grief, depression, addiction, or challenges tied to identity and sexuality. Carlos also addresses career questions, compassion fatigue, and adjustments that come with aging or life transitions. He keeps language simple and aims for straightforward next steps.

The first visit is used to get to know each other and form a plan. Carlos prioritizes practical coping skills and small measurable steps toward the goals clients name. He balances active questioning with steady listening.

Clients can expect a relaxed tone and a focus on what helps day to day. Carlos frames therapy as a collaborative process where people decide goals and try techniques that suit their life and values.

How his approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace; it helps when someone needs respect, acceptance, and a space to make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and provides concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unwanted habits. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and is useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and building motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carlos collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. He will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into busy days, and live chat or text messaging supports check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to stay consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
