Carri Wilson

Carri Wilson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience. She helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports parents managing behavior and developmental challenges. Carri is approachable and practical, and she focuses on clear goals and real skills people can use each day.

Her background includes nearly two decades working in education, counseling children and advising parents on issues such as autism, ADHD, abandonment, and behavior concerns. That work included coordinating Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans and guiding parents through behavior strategies and school supports. She then spent 15 years conducting family evaluations in custody, adoption, and guardianship cases, which expanded her experience with family systems and problem solving in high-stakes situations.

Early in her career she worked a lot with women facing domestic violence and low self-esteem. Over time that focus widened to include caregivers handling dementia and Alzheimer’s challenges, an area she now finds especially meaningful. She understands the strain caregivers face and the need for practical coping strategies.

Carri’s approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She works with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while supporting people to set achievable goals. Her style is warm, encouraging, and focused on building trust.

Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-focused process that emphasizes behavior change, decision-making tools, and self-empowerment. She aims to help people find manageable steps forward and to strengthen skills they can use at home and in relationships.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs acceptance, understanding, and a place to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and on identifying strengths and past successes to build momentum toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based CBT exercise one week and a solution-focused plan the next, while keeping the relationship and support at the center.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills between appointments and apply changes directly to everyday routines. Licensed professionals help tailor session frequency and focus so therapy fits the pace and goals of each person.
