About Carla

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of experience, Carla Rawls helps people facing low self-esteem, career hurdles, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and ADHD. She also works with concerns related to intellectual disability and offers coaching for professional and executive challenges. Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers sessions on clients' strengths and goals.

Carla sees clients as the experts in their own stories. She focuses on practical steps that build motivation and confidence. Sessions involve setting clear goals, reviewing progress, and adjusting strategies as needed. The tone is direct and solutions-focused rather than theoretical.

Her work often addresses life transitions such as job changes or major losses. She helps people make concrete plans for next steps and practice skills to manage stress and strong emotions. For career issues she blends coaching methods with therapeutic conversation to clarify goals and barriers.

When ADHD affects daily routine or work, she breaks tasks into manageable steps and helps clients test new habits. With grief or depression she supports pacing activity and re-engaging with meaningful routines. For anger and stress she teaches ways to notice triggers and choose different reactions.

Carla's practice favors observable progress and frequent check-ins. She asks questions about strengths and past successes to build momentum. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to outline priorities and a plan.

How evidence-based approaches translate to remote work

Carla describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable steps. One common method is goal-focused coaching, which breaks larger career or life goals into specific tasks and tracks progress; this helps when motivation or organization is a challenge. Another common strand is behavioral activation, which encourages re-engaging with routine activities and small experiments to lift mood and reduce depressive symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their situation and preferences. That collaborative planning may include trying a technique for a few weeks and adjusting it based on what works.

The biography does not list which session formats she uses, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow follow-ups or short check-ins when clients need them. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example a shorter phone check-in can be useful for quick planning, while a full session can focus on skill practice and goal review.
