About Carlos
Carlos Villegas is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Texas. He has eight years of experience helping people cope with depression, anger, trauma and family concerns. Carlos draws on experience in crisis response and past work alongside law enforcement to understand stress that comes from high-pressure situations.
He believes people are the experts on their own lives and that small changes can shift how a person feels day to day. Sessions focus on practical steps, talking through painful memories, and learning ways the body holds stress. Conversations move at the clients pace and aim to make hard moments more manageable.
Carlos uses narrative methods, body-based somatic work, and eye movement desensitization reprocessing as tools in therapy. These approaches are used to help process difficult memories, reduce overwhelming sensations, and rewrite personal stories that keep people stuck.
He also supports those dealing with family conflict, attachment concerns, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Additional focus areas include coping with natural or human-caused disaster, first responder issues, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who want to begin meet the therapist by completing the sites matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability.
Approaches that translate to online work
Many of the techniques Carlos uses adapt well to remote sessions. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe painful memories into more manageable narratives. This approach is conversational and works well over video or phone when clients want to talk through what happened and what it means now.Somatic or body-based techniques help people notice physical signs of stress and learn simple grounding or regulation practices. These exercises can be guided verbally and are useful for reducing overwhelming sensations between sessions. EMDR is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and is described by Carlos as part of his toolkit to lessen the intensity of distressing recollections.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different techniques fit the client's needs. Together they will decide what to try first and adjust methods over time based on how the client responds.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people appreciate online therapy for the convenience of fitting sessions into a busy day, for shorter check-ins when needed, and for avoiding travel time.
