About Carien
Carien Myburgh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, addictions, and parenting challenges. She also lists family of origin issues, control problems, and fertility-related stress among her areas of interest.
She grew up in South Africa and earned an Honours degree in Psychology in 1986. She later completed a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012 and has worked as an LPC since then. Her background spans both South African and American perspectives on mental health.
Her approach aims to produce change efficiently while remaining willing to slow the pace if difficult material emerges. In sessions she uses practical tools and active problem solving to reduce worry, manage anger, and address substance use concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of how she structures work together.
Carien helps people untangle patterns that began in childhood and still affect day-to-day life now. She talks through beliefs that keep people stuck, and she works on skills for clearer thinking and better coping. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, and isolation with straightforward techniques.
Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and are limited to residents of Texas because of licensure rules. Prospective clients are invited to review online therapy options and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How her CBT and Solution-Focused work translates online
Carien uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises, thought records, and skill practice to reduce anxiety, low mood, or problematic coping. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps toward specific goals and on what is already working in a person’s life; it is useful for managing stress, improving relationships, and setting clear next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. She will talk with clients about goals and testing a method that fits their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress or obstacles become clearer.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can help fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills between sessions and apply them in everyday settings, which supports progress without promising a particular outcome.
