About Carla
Carla Rawls is a licensed professional counselor who helps people build confidence and find motivation. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. Many come for help with career concerns, coping with life changes, or to get coaching for professional goals.
Carla uses a straightforward, strengths-based approach. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them notice abilities they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to turn small insights into usable strategies for daily life. With ten years of experience in Mississippi, Carla has worked with a range of concerns including attention differences and intellectual disability. She combines coaching-style goal setting with talk therapy to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
The focus is on what clients want to change and how to get there. Carla supports people who are dealing with grief, major transitions, and work-related stress. She helps people build skills for managing strong emotions like anger and for improving self-esteem.
Conversations are practical, with steps to try between meetings. Clients start by identifying clear goals, then track progress together. Carla encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Her aim is to help people leave sessions feeling more capable and ready to try the next step.
What Carla works with
Everything Carla lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Carla's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Carla draws on widely used, evidence-based techniques to help clients set goals and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and practical strategies for stress and anger management. This method teaches step-by-step techniques to notice triggers, calm physiological reactions, and respond differently in tense moments.Another frequently used approach involves goal-focused coaching blended with therapeutic conversation. That approach helps people clarify career aims, improve motivation, and break larger goals into manageable tasks. It is useful for work transitions, motivation struggles, and building confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online formats in this practice include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, ongoing contact and flexible scheduling, which can help fit therapy into a busy life.
