Trudi Carlson, LPC

Trudi Carlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience in private practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, grief, anger, and other life changes. Trudi also lists codependency and family-of-origin concerns among her focus areas.

Her style is informal and interactive. Sessions tend to be person-centered, meaning the conversation starts with the client's priorities and values. She pairs that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to address daily problems and unhelpful thoughts.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice reactions and calm strong feelings. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotional regulation and impulse control are getting in the way of relationships or daily functioning. These tools are presented plainly and practiced in conversation rather than as abstract theory.

Trudi has worked with clients on parenting and blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and co-parenting logistics, career decisions, and navigating life with ADHD. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, and challenges tied to addiction and bipolar mood patterns.

Sessions focus on concrete steps, clearer communication, and strategies to set boundaries without placing blame. People who struggle with people-pleasing or losing themselves around someone else's moods will find an emphasis on practical skills and real-life problem solving.
