About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. He focuses on helping parents and caregivers who are worried about stress, parenting questions, mood changes, or trauma-related concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for busy families.

Christian trained at Augusta University and has seven years of counseling experience. He has provided individual and group therapy for children, teens, and adults. He often supports people processing trauma and the effects of traumatic stress, and he also addresses anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, identity questions, and related concerns.

Background and approach

In sessions he uses tools from several evidence-based methods. He cares about setting clear short-term and long-term goals so families know what to expect. Goals are flexible and can change as needs shift.

Christian describes emotions, behaviors, and thoughts as linked, and he uses that idea to help people see how changes in one area can affect others. He combines techniques rather than sticking to a single method, tailoring each plan to the situation. Respect and compassion guide his work regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.

He aims to create a practical space where parents and caregivers can sort through options, try new skills, and reduce the everyday strain of parenting and life changes.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and commit to small, meaningful changes. It is useful when parents or caregivers feel stuck or overwhelmed and want a clearer sense of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings, and it teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional responses, which can help when strong feelings get in the way of parenting or close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels practical. Plans start small, adjust over time, and emphasize skills families can use between sessions.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy caregivers. Video calls let people connect face to face without travel. Phone sessions or live chat provide shorter, lower-pressure ways to check in. Text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders between visits. These options make it easier to fit consistent support into a family schedule while still using the evidence-based tools described above.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
