Carien Myburgh , LPC

Carien Myburgh approaches counseling with a focus on achieving meaningful change efficiently, believing that the sooner negative emotions and limiting beliefs are addressed, the more time people have to move forward. She balances a commitment to progress with sensitivity - when deeper wounds or past traumas surface she slows the pace and works with patience and care to navigate those areas.

Born and raised in South Africa, she earned an Honors Degree in Psychology in 1986 and later continued her education in the United States, completing a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. Since finishing her graduate studies she has practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a state credential for mental health practitioners who provide counseling and psychotherapy.

Because of licensing requirements, she is only able to provide counseling to people residing in Texas. Her practice emphasizes practical progress while honoring the need for gentleness when working through sensitive issues.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Carien Myburgh

Carien often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and shift behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT focuses on practical strategies and skills that can be applied between sessions to support steady progress.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths and small, achievable steps toward change. This method is useful for navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and situations where clear, forward-moving actions are desired.

Finding the right approach is part of the work - she collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan tailored to an individual’s priorities.

Online therapy with a licensed professional like Carien offers flexibility in how and when care happens. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support during life changes. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on progress in a way that suits the client’s life and comfort level.
