About Corlissa
Dr. Corlissa Wilson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, and blended family issues among other concerns. She works with adults and adolescents and uses straightforward, goal-oriented work to address problems that interrupt daily life.
She draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused ideas and adapts them to each person. Sessions often include practical tasks to try between meetings. Her style is collaborative and action-oriented - she helps people name priorities, set small goals, and track progress over time.
Her background includes long experience as a school counselor in elementary and middle school settings, teaching at the university level, and work in private practice. That mix informs how she supports parenting concerns, grief, and school-related stress. She also leads grief groups for adolescents and parents through volunteer work.
In sessions she uses clear language and concrete steps. Clients can expect to talk through immediate problems, learn coping skills, and leave with things to practice between sessions. She pays attention to communication patterns, role changes, and the everyday pressures of blended households.
Dr. Wilson has an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology, an Ed.S. in School Counseling, an M.Ed. in Community Counseling, and a BBA in Marketing. She prefers work that combines practical techniques and measurable progress. If you are navigating stepfamily roles, parenting strain, or grief, she offers focused, experience-based support.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and shaping goals around their priorities. It helps when someone needs a respectful, steady conversation about feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and homework to change thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic attacks.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, concrete steps that move a problem forward. It suits practical issues like communication skills, setting new routines in a blended household, or short-term goal work.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted as progress is seen and priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals use these formats to help people keep steady progress while balancing everyday life.
