About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience based in Georgia. He works with adults on issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting stress, and questions around sexuality and gender expression. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague promises. Christian uses straightforward language and a structured style to help people manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

He draws from several evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods. That means sessions often look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and include coping skills practice. Christian tends to mix techniques so work in session fits the problem at hand.

Christian emphasizes goal-setting as a central part of the process. Short-term goals give immediate focus and longer-term goals guide the work. Goals can change as progress is made or priorities shift. He encourages people to try different routes and to adjust plans when needed.

He has experience offering both individual and group work with children, teens, and adults, and has particular experience processing traumatic stress. He also supports people coping with burnout, compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, and the stress that follows big life changes.

Sessions are practical and action-oriented while still addressing emotion. Christian encourages honest conversation, real-world skill practice, and regular check-ins on goals. People who want clear steps for managing anger, anxiety, or grief often find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How Christian Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Christian blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. ACT looks at values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Client-centered methods emphasize listening and working at the client’s pace so goals come from the person in the room.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Christian will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. He checks progress and adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping or if priorities shift.

Session formats are not detailed in his biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - a shorter check-in around a work break, avoiding travel time, or using a less data-heavy option when bandwidth is limited. The therapist and client then focus on practical skill practice, goal tracking, and clear steps to manage anger, stress, or grief in day-to-day life.
