Mr. Gerber has been very understanding of circumstances surrounding my schedule, and still provides the same amount of communication, respect, and developmental assistance although our schedules do not facilitate a live session at most intervals. He has been very knowledgeable and realistic so far, and challenges me to look at things from ways I hadn't considered before.

More about Carson

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Hello, I am excited that you are considering me to come alongside you during your counseling experience. I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 3 years. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from West Texas A&M Univeristy in 2008 and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University in 2013. I have experience working with adolescents and families navigating the criminal justice system. I have also received specialized training in trauma focused modalities to include EMDR and TF-CBT. My primary therapy approach is CBT, but I find other modalities such as Solution Focused, Functional Family Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to be equally effective with different clients.

Regardless of treatment modality, I believe the effectiveness of a client-therapist relationship is grounded in the ability for trust to thrive. The ability to listen and to process the exact concern of the client allows me as the clinician to offer an effective treatment.

It has been my experience as a therapist, as well as a client, that most of us can identify an appropriate solution for our current situation, once we ascertain the exact problem we are facing. Generally we are often too close or to enmeshed in the situation to maintain an objective perspective. As a clinician, I believe the ability to help facilitate the discovery of a more rational perspective is perhaps the most critical and beneficial service I can provide to you as my client. Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
