Ciarra Waters-Mullen, LPC

Ciarra Waters-Mullen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She has seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges with focus and motivation. She aims to make beginning therapy less overwhelming and more approachable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Ciarra spends sessions listening first and asking clear questions next. She creates a straightforward space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations move at a pace that matches each person’s comfort and needs.

Her work commonly includes strategies for everyday coping - simple ways to reduce stress, organize thinking, and set small goals. She also supports people dealing with mood shifts, anger, addictive behaviors, and life transitions. For those with attention differences she focuses on practical steps for concentration and follow-through.

Ciarra uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s experience central. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and track progress.

Many people come to her wanting clearer direction, less overwhelm, or better routines. She frames therapy as a partnership that works toward realistic changes. If someone is ready to take a first step, she guides the process and helps with planning next actions.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to make sessions feel respectful and nonjudgmental. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on short-term, achievable goals. It helps people build momentum by identifying small changes and tracking progress over a few sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods so they fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when situations arise. Some formats may be better for brief check-ins while others support longer therapeutic work, so review the available options and choose what best fits daily routines.
