About Carvan

Carvan Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of work in mental health. She practices from Mississippi and draws on a range of counseling methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to identity and self-worth. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell their stories in new ways.

That approach helps clients notice values and strengths that were easy to miss.

Background and approach

Carvan also blends client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those tools fit the situation. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding. Carvan helps clients build a mental health toolbox of skills they can use daily.

She works with people on communication problems, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and women's issues, always aiming for realistic, manageable plans. Her style is direct but warm. She aims to guide rather than dictate, and to collaborate on goals and next steps.

Clients can expect straightforward language, skill-building, and chances to reframe unhelpful stories so they support change. Carvan brings two decades of experience to her work and combines skill practice with reflective conversation. She supports people coping with bipolar symptoms, anger, and addictions alongside common life stresses.

The goal is clearer choices and steady progress toward what matters most.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Carvan directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based approaches work online

Carvan often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That work looks at problem stories and searches for overlooked values and strengths to support new choices. Client-Centered Therapy is another strand of her practice where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used when helpful, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match those goals. Over time the approach can shift as progress and needs change, so the client helps decide what feels most useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and let clients keep continuity of care even when schedules change.
