About Carla
Carla Anderson is a licensed professional counselor with 39 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Carla emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care for each person she sees.
She helps people who struggle with stress and anxiety, depression, anger, and grief. Her practice also supports those facing trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping problems, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
How Carla works
She works with issues that often appear alongside life transitions, such as career change, divorce and separation, or blended family challenges. Carla pays attention to the cultural context people bring into the room. She addresses multicultural concerns, LGBT matters, and women's issues with awareness of how identity affects health and relationships.
She also supports people managing bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue from demanding roles. Sessions are shaped to fit each person. Carla tailors conversations and treatment plans to match what a client needs and prefers.
That might mean brief check-ins by text, a longer video session, or phone conversations when that feels most doable. Carla approaches work practically. She focuses on what people can do differently between sessions to feel steadier day to day.
She values clear goals and honest feedback so therapy stays useful and connected to real life.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills for anxiety, stress, and mood problems. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable and reduces their everyday impact.Finding the right method is a team effort. Carla will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and preferences.
Online therapy gives practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow a full-session conversation similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, scheduling, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
