About Carien
Carien Myburgh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans.
Carien values clear, focused work that aims for change without rushing through hard material. She believes faster progress frees people from recurring negative thoughts, past hurts, guilt, and shame. At the same time, she slows the pace when sensitive issues need gentler attention.
Born and raised in South Africa, Carien completed an Honors degree in Psychology in 1986. She later earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University in 2012. She has practiced as an LPC since then and works with adults who live in Texas because of licensing rules.
Her approach uses practical methods to address how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused work to help people identify manageable steps. This includes addressing control issues, family of origin patterns, and substance misuse.
Carien also supports people facing fertility concerns, feelings of isolation, forgiveness work, and problems tied to guilt or shame. She aims to help clients build clearer ways to cope and to reduce the recurring patterns that increase frustration and anger.
To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Carien notes that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her CBT and Solution-Focused work translates to online sessions
Carien uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that worsen mood and anger. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger-related responses.She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that move a person toward clearer goals. This approach looks for what is already working and builds short-term strategies to reduce recurring problems like control issues or relationship tension.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Carien will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as work progresses. She balances quicker, goal-directed work with moments of slower exploration when deeper hurts appear.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm available options before booking. The online model can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people remain consistent with sessions and apply new skills into everyday life.
