What patients are saying

Overall rating

4.60

“Carl deserves every bit of a 5 star review. I wasn‚Äôt sure about choosing a male therapist at first, but working with Carl has completely changed my mind. From the very first session, he showed a level of respect, patience, & validation, & he creates a space where I feel genuinely heard. If you‚Äôre looking for a therapist who incorporates spiritual beliefs into the healing process, Carl is the one. I‚Äôve worked w/ women therapists for years, & Carl has surpassed every experience I‚Äôve ever had.”

“I think he is outstanding. I started with him back in December 2025, and I continue to treat with him. Bi appreciate his input and how he uses Bible principles and scriptures and relates them to what I am feeling at the time and how to find a solution, at least use them to work one. I am very happy with this therapist. He listens he knows the right questions to ask and makes me think and confront myself on them. I am truly grateful.”

Getting to know Carl Fuller

I have over 20 years of experience working with many diverse populations in the mental health field. I have been independently licensed for the last four years. I believe that establishing a genuine rapport is one of the most important pieces of the therapeutic process. Additionally, I am a Christian faith-based therapist and have been effective in helping many on this path. LCSW. My approach My foundational clinical approaches are rooted in Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also provide Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches as appropriate. My focus I primarily provide therapy for clients who are seeking to address their mental health from a Christian faith-based perspective. I have a history of working with many diverse populations where faith is not the primary focus so I am able to hold to the strict boundary to only address clinical issues as requested by clients. I primarily work with clients who address anxiety, depression, and stress. My communication style My communication style varies on client needs. There are times when directness has been requested and other times where the communication is indirect with hopes to help foster insightfulness in a slower manner. I have been effective in providing both communication styles and also a mixture as necessary, given the sensitivity of matters and per client request. My journey to mental healthcare I have over 20 years working with diverse populations in various work settings. I am driven by my desire to help others find balance in their lives. My Christian faith provides me with a purpose in continuing to provide clinical work in the mental telehealth field, as I am here to help others heal. My goals for you It varies, as some clients arrive with already preset goals they would like to accomplish, usually when they have already engaged in therapy. Some client goals are very clearly stated in their intake and are confirmed as such.
