Carri Wilson, LPC

Carri Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. She aims to help people who are juggling family stress, parenting questions, grief, mood concerns, or the daily strain of anxiety and ADHD. Her approach is warm and encouraging and focused on practical steps people can use right away.

She spent nearly two decades working in education, counseling children and advising parents about behavior, learning differences, and special education supports. That background includes work with autism, ADHD, abandonment issues, and navigating Individualized Education Program and 504 processes. She draws on that experience to give clear, usable strategies for families and caregivers.

Carri has also worked extensively on custody, adoption, and guardianship cases, conducting family evaluations and coordinating with courts and community agencies. Those years exposed her to a wide range of family problems and helped her build realistic, problem-solving approaches for complicated situations.

Her clinical style leans on cognitive behavioral methods and a client-centered stance. In practice that means she helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, set concrete goals, and practice new responses. Sessions are meant to be collaborative, respectful, and focused on what will improve day-to-day functioning.

She supports people through grief, caregiving stress, postpartum issues, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, anger, and relationship struggles. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients by online formats.

How Carri Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Carri commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills to change how someone thinks and acts; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and following the client’s pace so people feel heard and respected while they set goals.

She approaches treatment as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client explore goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Finding the best approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision, and Carri supports clients in testing tools and refining strategies over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and feedback. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text help people keep momentum between sessions, track progress, or handle brief check-ins during the week. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to practice skills consistently.
