About Carien
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 13 years of experience, Carien Myburgh focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting concerns, addictions, trauma, and life changes. She works from a goal-oriented perspective and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make practical change. Sessions are guided and direct, with attention to pacing and gentleness when painful topics arise.
Carien says faster change is useful so people can spend more time free of negative feelings and limiting beliefs. She balances that drive for progress with patience when deeper wounds appear. When needed, sessions slow down so difficult material can be approached carefully.
Carien trained first in South Africa, earning an honors degree in psychology in 1986. She later moved to the United States and completed a master’s degree in counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. Since then she has practiced as an LPC in Texas.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and track small changes that build momentum. The work is practical and geared toward measurable steps.
She speaks English and Afrikaans. Licensing limits her practice to people living in Texas, so prospective clients should confirm residency before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

CBT and Solution-Focused approaches for online work
Carien uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice alternatives. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to specific, achievable steps and builds momentum through small changes; it helps when people want concrete short-term goals and practical problem solving.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That includes checking progress and adjusting pace if deeper issues require gentler handling.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or avoid being on camera when preferred. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on treatment goals.
