Carri Wilson, LPC

Carri Wilson is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety among other concerns and aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.

She began her career helping women with domestic abuse and self-esteem struggles. Over time she worked with families and school-aged children on issues like ADHD, autism, behavior concerns, and the effects of divorce. That school-based work included advising parents on behavior strategies and coordinating educational accommodations like IEPs and 504 plans.

More recently her work has included counseling caregivers who balance personal life while supporting elderly relatives with dementia and Alzheimer’s. She has also conducted family evaluations related to custody, adoption, and guardianship for the last 15 years, which brought experience working with family courts and community agencies.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while helping clients set practical goals and try tools that fit their lives. Sessions are described as encouraging, warm, and supportive.

Carri aims to build a genuine bond of trust and to empower people to make clearer decisions. She works in English and accepts international clients, and she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and genuine connection. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and focuses on what matters most to the person seeking help. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and emotional support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable changes and practical steps. It helps people set clear goals and identify existing strengths to solve current problems more quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and will tailor methods together. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus more on understanding and support, skill-building with CBT, or short-term solution work.

If you plan to do therapy online, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for an online setting so therapy can remain practical and goal oriented.
