Carri Wilson, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Carri

Carri Wilson is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She draws on 24 years of experience to help parents and caregivers find practical steps forward. Her manner is warm and encouraging, and she aims for clear, useful guidance rather than long theoretical talks.

Carri began her work supporting women facing domestic violence and self-esteem struggles. Over time she expanded into school-based counseling, advising parents and children about autism, ADHD, behavior challenges, and academic concerns.

Background and approach

That background includes serving on IEP and 504 teams to suggest behavioral strategies and classroom supports. For about 15 years she has completed family evaluations used in custody, adoption, and guardianship matters. Those referrals gave her broad exposure to complicated family situations and taught practical ways to solve problems under stress.

Recently caregiving for aging parents has become a central concern in her caseload and in her personal life. She understands the strain of balancing care duties with work and personal needs and offers approachable support for caregivers facing dementia and end-of-life issues. Carri uses flexible methods, often combining cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered style and solution-focused ideas.

She focuses on thoughts, feelings, and actions and works alongside parents to set goals and practice new skills. Her approach favors clear tools and steady encouragement so families can make small, lasting changes.

Approaches and online options for family-focused care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and respect for each person’s experience. It gives parents and caregivers space to be heard and helps build confidence through a supportive relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, and daily parenting challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on immediate goals and small steps clients can try right away to change what isn’t working.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the issues at hand and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options make it easier to meet from home, while traveling, or between caregiving tasks. Using different formats also allows for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexible scheduling for parents and caregivers juggling many responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
