About Carien
Carien Myburgh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people make meaningful change in their lives. She emphasizes practical progress so clients can spend less time weighed down by negative feelings and more time moving forward.
Her approach balances steady momentum with careful attention when painful topics arise. She will slow the pace when something needs gentle work, and speed up when clear, achievable steps will help. Sessions aim to address current problems and build skills that can be used day to day.
Carien trained in South Africa and later completed a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. She has practiced as an LPC for 13 years and draws on that experience when helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction concerns.
She also works with issues around relationships, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, control issues, and family of origin matters. Additional areas she addresses include fertility concerns, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and social anxiety.
Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans. Because of licensing rules she provides counseling only to people residing in Texas. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options and scheduling details before booking.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Carien uses approaches that lend themselves to clear, practical work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then try small changes to break unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on current strengths and small steps toward concrete goals. Sessions emphasize what is already working and build short-term strategies to move forward, which can feel useful when life changes are overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and together decide what to try first. That collaborative planning can include mixing elements from both approaches as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a short appointment helps during a workday. Licensed professionals can use these methods to focus on skill building and practical problem solving while working around daily life.
