About Carrie

Carrie Wilson is a licensed mental health counselor with 29 years of experience who focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable for busy parents and caregivers. She listens first, and then helps you set small goals you can use right away.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward so people leave with tools they can try between sessions. Carrie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at the thoughts and habits that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what already works and create quick, realistic steps forward. Sessions are task-oriented and tailored to the individual concern, whether it involves stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or parenting stress. Her background includes nearly three decades of clinical practice in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC MH4662).

That experience gives her familiarity with many issues parents bring into therapy, from mood shifts and postpartum concerns to anger and coping with life changes. Clients can expect clear explanations and practical assignments rather than long theory talks. Carrie values hearing each person’s story and finding simple, useful strategies.

She works with people who want dependable, down-to-earth support for everyday challenges. For those looking for focused guidance on family and parenting matters, she offers goal-oriented sessions that aim to reduce daily stress and improve interactions at home.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Online sessions often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. In plain terms, CBT breaks big problems into smaller parts and teaches simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy is also used to build on what already works in your life. This approach focuses on quick, realistic steps and on amplifying small successes to improve parenting, relationships, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, solution-focused steps, or a combination of both to fit real-life family demands.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around childcare and work. They also allow for follow-up between sessions through chat or text when brief guidance is helpful.

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.
