About Carri

Carri Wilson is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate family stress, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Carri is based in Texas and works with adults in English, including international clients when arrangements allow.

She draws on a mix of practical strategies and listening. Carri uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person’s story and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small steps that move people toward their goals.

Much of her background is in school counseling and family services. For nearly two decades she supported children, parents, and educators with attention issues, autism, behavioral concerns, and academic challenges. That work included advising on IEPs and 504 plans and offering behavior strategies parents can use at home.

Carri has also done family evaluations related to custody, adoption, and guardianship. That experience exposed her to many kinds of family stress and practical problem solving in community and court contexts. More recently she has worked with caregivers dealing with aging and dementia-related stress while balancing their own lives.

Her style is warm, encouraging, and goal oriented. Sessions typically focus on setting realistic goals, changing unhelpful patterns, and building tools clients can use between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, helping clients feel heard and respected while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete steps and small changes that move a person toward the outcomes they want.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make scheduling across time zones simpler for international clients. The focus remains on practical tools, goal setting, and problem solving that translate to everyday life.
