Carien Myburgh, LPC

Carien Myburgh approaches counseling with the aim of producing meaningful change as efficiently as possible so clients can move beyond persistent negative emotions, limiting beliefs, past traumas, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also emphasizes sensitivity and patience when deeper wounds require a slower, more careful pace.

Born and raised in South Africa, she earned an Honors degree in Psychology in 1986 and later completed a Master’s degree in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University in 2012. Since finishing her graduate training she has practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.

Her clinical work focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses associated issues including control struggles, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin dynamics, fertility-related concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia. Carien combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Solution-Focused Therapy to offer practical, goal-oriented strategies tailored to each individual.

Carien provides therapy in English and Afrikaans. Due to licensing requirements, she is only able to provide counseling to people residing in Texas.
