Carlos Castillo

Carlos Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He brings three years of counseling experience and a straightforward, person-first way of working. He speaks English and Spanish and invites people to decide if his style fits their needs before starting.

He focuses on life transitions and the stress that comes with change. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and sleeping. He also supports those facing career shifts, parenting strain, and the emotional effects of aging or end-of-life situations.

Carlos uses a client-centered approach that centers the person's own goals and values. He commonly uses motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation for change and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Sessions begin with a clear plan, so goals are defined and steps are mapped out together.

In therapy he listens first and asks practical questions next. People can expect to work on concrete coping skills, learn ways to manage strong emotions like anger, and develop routines that improve sleep and daily functioning. He also offers coaching-style support when clients want help setting and reaching life goals.

His approach emphasizes respect for each person's background and culture. If you want someone who listens, helps set realistic goals, and works in both English and Spanish, he may be a good match.

How these approaches guide online work

Carlos commonly draws on client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person's priorities, and working at their pace. It helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and set personal goals.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people notice their mixed feelings about change and build their own reasons to move forward. It often works well for habits, addictions, and making life shifts. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, anger, sleep, and mood problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful during early sessions. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life because it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or remove the need to arrange childcare. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, or other obligations.
