About Carrie

Carrie Wilson is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate big life changes and everyday stresses. She focuses on practical steps people can use now to feel steadier and make clearer decisions. Carrie writes and talks plainly in sessions, helping people name what feels hard and try new ways of coping.

Carrie treats a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, work pressures, struggles with self-esteem, and changes such as divorce or separation. Coping with life changes is one of her areas of focus, and she aims to help people find direction and calm during transitions.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, then identify small, achievable steps to test different choices. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and practical, while also making room to process difficult feelings.

With 29 years in the field, Carrie draws on long experience without making therapy more complicated than it needs to be. She values conversational work where the person sets the pace and goals. Carrie believes the best outcome is when a person feels able to manage life with less outside help.

She practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. People who travel or live abroad may be able to work with her, and she welcomes discussing international arrangements before scheduling.

How Carrie Uses Practical Therapies Online

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, doable steps toward clear goals. A person and therapist identify what would look different, then try short experiments to move toward that change. This approach suits people who want fast, concrete shifts and help narrowing priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with different responses. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, obsessive thinking, and stress related to life transitions. CBT includes simple skill practice between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's needs and goals and suggest which methods to try first. If something does not fit, the plan is adjusted together until it feels useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also supports continuity when life or location changes, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and goal-driven work.
