About Trudi
Trudi Carlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience in private practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting challenges. Her work also covers ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and life transitions.
Trudi uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions are interactive and informal. She draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
She often helps people who struggle with impulsivity, workplace frustration, simmering resentment, or trouble calming down after conflicts. Trudi also supports those sorting through family of origin problems, blended family strain, divorce and co-parenting logistics, and caregiver stress.
Her practice includes attention to communication problems, codependency, problems with self-esteem, and questions of life purpose. Trudi helps people living with ADHD-related challenges and those managing bipolar symptoms without claiming diagnostic services beyond talk therapy.
Trudi encourages small, practical steps: short coping strategies, mindfulness practices, and concrete behavior changes. She asks about goals and adjusts the pace to each person. To start, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online options button.
How Trudi’s approaches are used online
Trudi often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness work in online sessions. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anger that shows up at work or home by teaching new ways to respond. Mindfulness therapy focuses on simple skills for noticing strong emotions and reducing reactivity through breathing and present-moment attention.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Trudi asks about what you want to change, what has worked before, and how intense the issue is. Together you decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skills training, or a mix of methods and adjust as progress is made.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The platform uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; ask about specific session options when scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family, allow brief check-ins when a quick reset is needed, and support practicing mindfulness or behavioral experiments between meetings.
