About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and questions about sexuality and gender expression. He draws on seven years of experience supporting individuals as they sort through painful memories, stressful life changes, and relationship concerns. Sessions are practical and goal-focused to help people make steady progress.

He uses a mix of well-known therapeutic methods rather than a single fixed approach. That means sessions may include looking at thoughts and behaviors, learning new coping skills, and talking through feelings to reduce the impact of traumatic stress. Goals are set together and can change as needs shift.

Christian trained at Augusta University and completed a master's degree in 2017. His background includes both individual and group work with children, teens, and adults, giving him a range of experience across age groups. He views emotions, behaviors, and thoughts as connected when people try to understand their experiences.

In sessions he focuses on what the person wants to achieve next, breaking larger aims into short-term steps. He emphasizes respect and compassion for differences in gender, sexuality, and background. That attitude helps create a space where people can be honest about what they need.

People often come for help with codependency, grief, ADHD, parenting stress, intimacy concerns, and coping after loss or trauma. Christian explains options and helps clients choose practical strategies that fit their situation.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, pick what matters most, and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and process core emotions so they can respond differently in relationships or when triggered.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Christian will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try, and that plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. It can also let someone use less bandwidth when needed or choose simpler phone-based sessions for a quick follow-up. The therapist will help tailor session length and techniques to what works best for the client's life and goals.
