About Carien
Carien Myburgh is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and coping with life changes.
She prefers a practical approach that aims for change without rushing healing when it matters. Sessions are paced to move forward while stopping to address painful memories or strong emotions. Carien uses straightforward strategies people can try between sessions to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Carien trained in South Africa and completed a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. She holds an honors degree in psychology from her earlier studies and has worked in counseling roles for over a decade.
Her work often centers on problem areas that get in the way of daily life, like control issues, family of origin patterns, fertility stress, and substance use concerns. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia.
Carien speaks English and Afrikaans and provides counseling only to people residing in Texas due to licensing rules. Practical steps in sessions include identifying thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what helped or did not help between meetings.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session so goals and a plan can be set together.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Carien uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, then try practical experiments to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and social worries. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, concrete steps toward preferred outcomes and to build on what is already working in someone’s life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carien will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then together decide which methods to try first. The plan is collaborative and can change based on what the client needs and what proves useful in practice.
Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around work and family commitments, choosing a quieter time without travel, and using shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Online counseling can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to review small behavioral experiments with the therapist. Confirm the exact session options and scheduling steps when you book.
