About Carri
Carri Wilson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship strain. She draws on 24 years of experience to offer steady support and practical guidance. Carri speaks English and works with adults from Texas and beyond, including international clients.
Carri spent many years in education counseling children and advising parents on behavior, learning differences, autism, and ADHD. That background included coordinating IEPs and 504 plans and offering clear, practical strategies parents can use at home and at school.
Background and approach
She has a long history of working with issues tied to family change, abandonment, and the effects of divorce. For about 15 years Carri performed family evaluations for custody, adoption, and guardianship cases. That work exposed her to a wide range of family patterns and problem-solving approaches.
It also shaped her ability to assess concerns and suggest constructive next steps when relationships are strained. Carri has substantial experience supporting caregivers who face the stress of aging relatives, dementia, and end-of-life planning. She also addresses grief, postpartum depression, trauma, and recovery from domestic violence.
Her approach is practical and grounded in real-life needs. In sessions she blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She aims to build trust, set achievable goals, and teach tools that change behavior and thinking.
Carri’s style is warm, encouraging, and focused on helping people find workable solutions.
Practical Approaches for Online Care
Carri often uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings, family roles, or caregiving stress.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, negative thinking, and developing concrete coping steps.
Solution-focused therapy helps people set short-term goals and find immediate, practical changes. It can be a good fit for parents who need quick strategies or for people facing specific stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those priorities, and adjust the plan as needs change. Clients and the therapist work together to see what feels most helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people maintain regular contact and fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
