Carri Wilson

Carri Wilson is a Texas-based licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience in the mental health field. She specializes in a broad range of concerns including family conflicts, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger management, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Her early work focused on women’s issues such as domestic abuse and self-esteem, and she spent many years helping women navigate relationship difficulties and conflicting family role expectations. Over time that focus expanded to include a generation of caregivers managing the demands of aging parents, particularly the complexities of Dementia and Alzheimer’s alongside maintaining personal life balance. These caregiver challenges have recently become a personal concern for her, reinforcing her belief that counseling support is essential for those providing care.

Wilson also brings extensive experience from nearly two decades in education, counseling children and their parents on issues such as emotional disturbances, autism, ADHD, abandonment, the effects of divorce, academic and behavior problems, cultural differences, substance use, and special education concerns. In that role she served as an administrator for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 accommodations, advising parents on behavioral techniques and classroom modifications to meet diverse emotional, physical, and social needs.

For the past 15 years she has conducted family evaluations in matters of contested custody, adoption, and guardianship. That forensic counseling work, in collaboration with family courts and community agencies, has given her varied perspectives and practical options for problem solving in complex family situations.

Therapeutically she uses a range of approaches, often drawing from cognitive behavioral methods and a person-centered style to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while prioritizing clients’ well-being. Building a genuine bond of trust is central to her work. Her counseling style is encouraging, warm, and supportive, with an emphasis on setting goals, changing behaviors, and equipping clients with tools to make better decisions. She aims to empower people to find practical ways to help themselves and offers sincere, experienced guidance to those seeking support.
