About Christian

Christian Waller is a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of experience. He focuses on helping people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. He aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-driven so that clients can see practical steps forward.

He approaches therapy with a focus on thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and uses tools drawn from several evidence-based methods. Sessions often start by identifying short-term goals and next steps. Goals are flexible and can be adjusted as needs change.

Christian trained at Augusta University, earning his Master’s degree in 2017. Since then he has offered individual and group work with children, teens, and adults. His background includes work with trauma, anxiety, depression, and questions about sexuality and gender expression.

In the room he blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered approaches. He emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions to manage stress, improve sleep, and handle difficult emotions.

Common areas he supports include grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also works with people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, body image, and challenges related to chronic illness and caregiving.

Christian offers sessions in English and practices in Georgia. He treats people with respect and aims to create a calm, respectful space where goals are clear and workable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching simple skills to stay present and act toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist providing empathy and support while the client leads much of the direction.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christian will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. He often mixes elements from different approaches so that sessions match what a person actually wants to achieve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to use worksheets and exercises between appointments so progress continues outside of session time.
