About Carrie
Dr. Carrie Willey, LPCC, LPC, brings more than three decades of counseling experience to her practice in Texas. She began her career working with residential treatment centers and addiction programs, and she has led intensive workshops for people recovering from trauma. Her background includes work with diverse cultural groups and tribal health services, focusing on addictions and mental health concerns.
Her approach blends practical skills with body-centered work. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people learn new ways of thinking and managing emotions. She also incorporates Somatic Experiencing to address how the body holds stress and trauma.
Clients can expect concrete tools and short assignments between sessions. Dr. Willey focuses on strengths and on reducing unhelpful patterns that get in the way of everyday functioning. She emphasizes active participation so people can see small changes add up.
Her practice addresses a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, eating and food-related issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. Additional focuses include body image, codependency, caregiver stress, dissociation, and mood disorders.
Outside of clinical work, she enjoys long-distance bicycling and describes herself as spiritual, honoring many paths. She invites people who want a practical, engaged approach to therapy to reach out and begin the matching process.
