About Carvan
LPC Carvan Walker has 20 years of experience in counseling and is based in Mississippi. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, anger, bipolar concerns, parenting and family matters. She also pays attention to communication problems, self-love, and women’s issues.
Walker draws on approaches that put the client's perspective first. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at patterns of thought and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories.
In sessions she helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations focus on workable strategies, small experiments, and building skills that reduce distress. She aims to help people notice what already works and expand those strengths.
Her work has included substance use and abuse, school counseling, adults, older adults, and marriage and couples-related topics over two decades in the field. The emphasis is on problem-focused work alongside exploring life stories and values.
People who book a first meeting should expect direct conversation about goals, a short plan for change, and options to practice new skills outside sessions. To schedule a first session, use the site’s matching and booking flow to choose a time and provide brief background information.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies feelings, and helps the client name what matters most. This approach suits people who want a supportive listener and clearer personal goals.CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new ways of responding to anxiety or depression. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when strong emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skill practice with narrative exploration or using Motivational Interviewing to build momentum for change.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises and DBT or CBT skills for remote meetings so work can continue between sessions.
