About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with seven years of experience. He works with adults on trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and many everyday stressors. Christian also lists blended family issues among his areas of focus, so he can help adults navigating stepfamily transitions and co-parenting tensions.

He uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. Christian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered ideas. He talks through feelings, behaviors, and thoughts and helps identify practical short-term and longer-term goals.

Sessions typically involve discussing what’s happening now, learning skills, and trying new ways of responding. Christian emphasizes that goals can change as therapy progresses and that adjustments are normal. He favors concrete steps people can use between meetings to reduce stress and manage anxiety.

His background includes a Master’s degree from Augusta University earned in 2017 and experience providing individual and group services. Christian has worked with concerns related to sexuality and gender expression as well as trauma-focused care and stress-related issues.

People often bring him worries about parenting roles, loyalty conflicts in blended households, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. He will work with an individual to create a plan that addresses the most pressing issues first and then build from there.

How Christian uses ACT, CBT, and client-centered work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress, and adjusting to major life changes like joining a blended household.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person's experience so they can set their own goals and pace. This approach supports people who want a collaborative, respectful process rather than a directive style.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christian will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning can include short-term targets and strategies to practice between sessions.

Confirm current session formats before scheduling, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some people prefer audio-only conversations for lower bandwidth or quicker check-ins, while others choose video to read nonverbal cues. The therapist and client will agree on what works best for scheduling and day-to-day routines.
