About Corlissa

Dr. Corlissa Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing midlife transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those navigating relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and career or life-purpose questions. Dr. Wilson brings 25 years of experience to her work and aims to make the first step toward change less daunting.

She uses a collaborative style that centers the client's goals. Sessions focus on identifying problems and setting clear, practical goals. Clients can expect a mix of conversation, skill practice, and short activities to try between meetings.

Her counseling combines client-centered listening with problem-focused tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to spot patterns and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people find small, immediate steps that move them forward.

Dr. Wilson has a long history in school settings and private practice, and she has taught counseling courses at the university level. That background informs her work with adults, adolescents, and children, and she has volunteered in grief groups for young people and parents.

She treats each person and situation as unique and works at a pace that fits the client. Appointments include goal planning and homework when helpful, so progress can continue between sessions.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings or make sense of a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, shift mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on building solutions that can be tried right away to create forward momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest tools from these methods that fit the situation. Choices are made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work between in-person appointments and makes it simpler to access sessions during life transitions or caregiving demands.
