About Carl
Carl Funk is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of practice in Texas. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Carl also focuses on related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, and substance use issues.
Carl emphasizes clear, practical counseling. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work with substance use and other changes people want to make. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life.
Sessions focus on setting achievable goals and working step by step. Carl draws on personal experience with Stoic ideas and on behavioral techniques to offer concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily routines. He talks through how habits, thoughts, and situations interact and suggests experiments to test what helps.
People meet to identify one or two practical goals, then track progress with short, doable steps between sessions. He values straightforward conversation about setbacks and adjustments to plans. Carl encourages people to keep building skills that help with work, relationships, and everyday demands.
Carl practices in Texas and works in English. He has experience supporting people whose lives are affected by substance use, and he frames work around measurable changes rather than abstract promises.
How Carl uses online work with practical therapies
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carl will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or trauma-focused work and adapt that plan as progress is seen.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping appointments that might otherwise be hard to reach. Online work can make shorter check-ins possible and reduce travel time, which helps maintain momentum between sessions. Confirm current session options before booking so you know the exact formats offered for scheduling.
