Marriage & Family Therapy – Carpenter Couple & Family Counseling
Carpenter Couple & Family Counseling, PLLC is based in Plano, Texas, with the primary office located at 5512 West Plano Parkway, Suite 300. The practice is led by Dr. Erica Carpenter, PhD, LMFT-S, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist-Supervisor with over twelve years of clinical experience in couples, family, and individual therapy. Sessions are available both in-person at the Plano office and via telehealth for clients located anywhere in Texas, giving the practice broad geographic reach across the state.
Services offered include couples therapy, individual therapy, premarital therapy using the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment tool, life transitions therapy, anxiety therapy, and therapy for work burnout and compassion fatigue. The practice additionally provides clinical supervision and professional mentorship for therapists who are working toward licensure or seeking guidance in their ongoing professional development. This supervision offering positions the practice as a resource for both direct therapy clients and early-career clinicians in the Dallas-Fort Worth area seeking experienced guidance.
Couples served by the practice present with concerns such as entrenched relationship patterns, communication challenges, and emotional disconnection between partners. Individual clients receive support for challenges related to life stress, overwhelm, and anxiety. Dr. Carpenter’s stated therapeutic orientation emphasizes connection, curiosity, and support, combining practical clinical tools with a warm and non-judgmental environment designed to facilitate meaningful and lasting client change.
The telehealth format extends the practice’s availability to clients in McKinney, Frisco, Allen, and communities throughout Texas beyond the Plano metro. Online appointment scheduling is available through a client portal linked from the practice website. Contact is available by phone at (832) 524-2898 or by email at erica@carpentercoupleandfamilycounseling.com.
