Dr. Corlissa Wilson , LPC

Dr. Corlissa Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with an extensive background in school and clinical settings. She holds national certifications as a National Certified Counselor and a National Certified School Counselor, and she is a Certified Trauma Specialist - credentials that reflect added training in trauma work and school-based counseling. In addition to her LPC credential, she earned an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, a Master of Education in Community Counseling, an Education Specialist degree in School Counseling, and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of West Georgia.

Her professional experience includes many years as a school counselor in elementary and middle schools, teaching courses for the University of Phoenix for a decade, and maintaining a private practice. Dr. Wilson uses an eclectic, client-focused approach that emphasizes collaboration - she partners with clients to identify concerns, set goals, and practice skills between sessions. Sessions often include practical assignments or activities designed to reinforce progress outside the therapy hour.

She works with adults, adolescents, and children, and she volunteers with community organizations while facilitating grief groups for teens and their parents. Married to her high-school best friend, she is part of a blended family with a stepson and a daughter. Dr. Wilson approaches each person and situation as unique and brings that perspective to her counseling work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Corlissa Wilson uses client-centered methods that prioritize the individual's experience - this approach encourages clients to lead conversations while the therapist provides empathy and support, which can be especially helpful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship or identity concerns. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and panic symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy is another component of her work, emphasizing short-term, goal-oriented strategies to identify concrete steps forward and build on existing strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wilson works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress develops. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and allow people to engage in therapy from home, work, or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives and can support consistent progress through regular, accessible contact with a licensed professional.
