About Carien
Carien Myburgh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger, addictions, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing control issues, family of origin problems, fertility concerns, and struggles with guilt, shame, isolation, and life purpose.
She trained first in South Africa with an Honours degree in Psychology and then completed a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. Since then she has practiced as an LPC in Texas. Because of licensing rules she provides counseling to people residing in Texas only.
Her approach favors focused, practical methods aimed at faster change while allowing room to slow down when deeper wounds emerge. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps toward clearer goals.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people name specific problems, test new ways of thinking or acting, and notice what changes. She works in English and Afrikaans and places attention on real-life concerns like work stress, parenting strain, addiction recovery, and questions about life purpose.
Carien asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. If you live in Texas and want to learn what comes next, she helps people take practical first steps toward clearer choices.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Translate to Online Sessions
Carien commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety, low mood, or problematic behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what people want to do differently, which can help with stress, relationship problems, and questions about life purpose.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. She will collaborate with clients to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques if something doesn’t feel workable and combining ideas from both approaches when helpful.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to keep therapy practical and focused on real-life changes rather than as a promise of a particular outcome.
