Carri Wilson, LPC

Carri Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience across multiple areas of mental health. She began her career focusing on women's issues, including domestic abuse and self-esteem concerns, and developed particular expertise in relationship dynamics and the shifting role expectations that can occur within families. Over time her practice expanded to include support for women who balance caregiving responsibilities for elderly parents with dementia or Alzheimer’s alongside their own personal and family lives, a challenge she recognizes personally and professionally.

For nearly two decades she worked in educational settings, counseling children and advising parents on matters such as emotional disturbances, autism, ADHD, abandonment, the effects of divorce, academic and behavioral challenges, cultural differences, substance concerns, and special education needs. In that role she administered and guided IEP and 504 accommodation processes, helping families implement behavioral techniques and modifications to support a child’s emotional, physical, and social development. Her long-standing commitment to supporting parents reflects a belief that caregivers benefit from encouragement, practical guidance, and professional direction in raising children within today’s changing social landscape.

For the past 15 years she has conducted family evaluations in situations involving custody disputes, adoptions, and guardianships. That forensic counseling work provided opportunities to explore complex family dynamics, collaborate with family courts and community agencies, and develop a wide range of problem-solving options for families in conflict. She draws on this diverse background when assessing needs and recommending paths forward.

Her clinical approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques, using the methods best suited to each person’s goals. She prioritizes forming a genuine bond of trust, working in an encouraging, warm, and supportive manner to help clients set goals, change behaviors, and learn practical tools for decision-making. Throughout her career she has emphasized empowerment, equipping individuals and families with strategies to manage current challenges and build resilience.
