Carri Wilson, LPC

Carri Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience in the mental health field. Over the course of her career she has worked extensively with women's issues, including domestic abuse, self-esteem, and relationship conflicts rooted in differing role expectations within families. As those women have aged, her practice has increasingly included support for caregivers managing the challenges of dementia and Alzheimer’s while balancing other life responsibilities - issues she has encountered personally as well.

Wilson spent nearly two decades in education counseling, supporting children and parents with emotional disturbances, autism, ADHD, abandonment, the effects of divorce, academic and behavior concerns, cultural differences, substance issues, and special education matters. Serving as an administrator for IEPs and 504 accommodations gave her hands-on experience advising families on behavioral strategies and practical modifications to meet a range of emotional, social, and physical needs. She maintains a strong commitment to supporting parents, especially those without extensive community networks.

For the last 15 years she has conducted family evaluations in cases involving custody disputes, adoptions, and guardianships. That forensic counseling work, in collaboration with family courts and community agencies, broadened her perspective on family dynamics and problem solving across complex situations. Clinically she draws on a variety of techniques but typically leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered approach, working with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while centering a client’s welfare. Her therapeutic style is warm, encouraging, and supportive, focused on setting goals, changing behaviors, and empowering people with tools for better decision making. She describes herself as sincere and willing to help those seeking a thoughtful, experienced counselor.
