About Carri
Carri Wilson is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience. She offers calm, direct support for people facing family stress, parenting challenges, grief, mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. Carri writes and talks plainly so parents can find practical ways forward.
She began her career addressing women’s issues, including domestic violence and self-esteem. Over time that work expanded into helping adults who balance caregiving for elderly parents with their own lives.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she supports caregivers coping with stress and role changes. Carri also spent nearly two decades in education counseling. She advised parents on behavior strategies, special education concerns, autism, ADHD, and academic or emotional struggles.
That school-based experience included participation in IEP and 504 planning and guiding behavioral approaches at home and school. For the past 15 years she has completed family evaluations related to custody, adoption, and guardianship. Those roles gave her a broad view of family problems and options for solving them.
She draws on that perspective when helping clients sort complex situations and make practical plans. Her counseling style blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to set clear goals, shift unhelpful patterns, and build decision-making tools.
Carri focuses on a warm, encouraging relationship that helps people find steps they can try between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you feel heard while you set your own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it offers concrete tools to change patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or stress. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and builds on what already works in your life to create practical change.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Over a few sessions you can evaluate what helps and adjust the work together so the approach matches your needs.
Online sessions make that collaboration flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat offers brief check-ins or step-by-step problem solving, and text messaging supports short updates or reminders between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy days, caregiving schedules, school hours, or work breaks while using methods that target thoughts, behaviors, and practical solutions.
