About Carlos
Carlos Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He draws on three years of counseling experience to help people facing major life changes and intense emotions. Carlos focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, mood disorders, addiction problems, and grief.
He also supports people navigating career shifts, parenting strain, sleep problems, questions about sexuality, and burnout related to caregiving or high-demand work. In sessions he uses a person-centered style that centers the client's own goals and values.
How Carlos works
He also applies techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to address unhelpful patterns and to build practical coping skills. The emphasis is on short clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life. The first meeting is used to get acquainted and set a focused plan.
Carlos works with each person to define realistic objectives and the steps needed to reach them. Sessions often include talking through problems, trying new ways of responding, and practicing habits between meetings. He offers counseling in English and Spanish and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support options
Approach and convenience for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflects what he hears, and helps people name their own goals and values. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to work through transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to improve mood, sleep, and coping with stress or anxiety.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build small steps toward those changes. It pairs well with other techniques when someone wants to reduce substance use, break habits, or move toward a clearer life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit the person. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
