Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.
As a clinical psychologist, I work closely with clients to identify specific goals to reduce distress and learn concrete strategies to manage anxiety and depression. Rapport with a client is huge, so making sure that clients feel empowered to give feedback about what is working or not working for them in therapy is a pillar of our therapeutic relationship.
I am Area Britton, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. My professional background includes experience in mental health therapy, school-based services, child welfare, inpatient healthcare, hospice, and substance use treatment, allowing me to support individuals across diverse backgrounds and life stages. My primary areas of focus include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, maternal mental health, life transitions, and women’s issues.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, and identity exploration. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, and helpers who spend so much time supporting others that they forget to care for themselves. I provide sex-positive, kink-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy and affirming care for people in consensually nonmonogamous (CNM) relationships, creating a space where you can show up as your authentic self.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Watkinsville
Searching for therapists in Watkinsville starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want care for. Therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or attention concerns. If you are looking for couples counseling near Athens, GA, or marriage counseling in Athens, GA, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s bio can help you understand who they work with, how they structure sessions, and whether their approach fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Watkinsville, local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby Athens, which makes virtual care a practical way to expand your search. You may prefer a therapist with an office close to home, school, or work, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule more easily. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist communicates, what concerns they focus on, and what you can expect in a first session.
Therapy in Watkinsville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, confirm coverage for your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
