About Carlos
Carlos Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He brings three years of professional counseling experience and offers sessions in English and Spanish. He emphasizes clear goals and practical steps so parents can see progress between meetings.
Carlos focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. He also addresses grief, sleep problems, career stress, and struggles around identity and sexuality. Clients often come with life changes that feel overwhelming or habits they want to change.
Background and approach
His style is direct and person-centered. He listens first, then works with each person to set specific goals. Sessions include straightforward tools to manage mood, reduce unhelpful thinking, and strengthen coping skills.
Carlos uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. He adapts methods to fit a person’s needs rather than using one fixed approach. Early sessions focus on identifying priorities and creating a practical plan.
Parents who want concrete support around parenting stress or life transitions will find a focus on actionable steps. Carlos offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Carlos Uses Practical Approaches Online
Carlos draws from client-centered therapy to build trust by listening closely and meeting each person where they are. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and set meaningful goals.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep trouble, and parenting stress because it breaks problems into clear steps you can work on between sessions.
Motivational interviewing appears in his work to help people resolve mixed feelings about change. It is a collaborative way to strengthen motivation and move toward concrete actions when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right mix of methods happens together. Carlos will talk through options, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. He aims to match techniques to your goals and daily life rather than using one fixed method.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
