About Carlos
Carlos Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate major life changes and strong emotions. He uses simple, direct conversation to figure out what is most pressing and what goals matter to each person. Sessions begin with getting to know each client and setting clear, achievable goals together.
With three years of formal experience as an LPC and a longer personal history working with people in transition, he centers his work on practical steps.
Background and approach
He helps people build coping skills for stress, anxiety, anger, sleep troubles, and mood concerns. He also supports those facing grief, addiction, career shifts, and questions about identity and sexuality. His approach is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, which means he follows the client’s pace and priorities.
He combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and strengthen commitment to goals. Carlos works with issues common to young adults, people facing aging or end-of-life questions, first responders, and those dealing with isolation or compassion fatigue.
He offers sessions in English and Spanish to meet different communication needs. Practical problem solving and forward movement are central to his style. People can expect a collaborative and straightforward process.
The first session focuses on concrete goals and a simple plan to move forward. Follow-up sessions emphasize skill building, small changes, and steady progress toward the goals defined together.

How his approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what he hears, and helps people set goals they actually care about. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of big changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He uses CBT tools to help identify unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and try new behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood struggles.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. It uses gentle conversation to strengthen motivation and plan small next steps for change, which is helpful with addictions, habits, or readiness for life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations where seeing each other helps. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between longer sessions or use shorter coaching-style touches when a quick conversation helps. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life.
