About Precious
Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 19 years of experience in psychotherapy and supervision. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways to handle stressful situations.
Her approach starts with listening and getting a sense of what is most pressing. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. From there she helps people test small changes and build coping skills that fit daily life.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and commit to actions that matter. When past trauma is part of the picture, she may use trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to process distressing memories. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change, including with addictions.
Sessions are offered in English and are framed around realistic goals, like reducing frequent snapping, managing workplace frustration, or handling grief and life change. The therapist explains techniques, models them in session, and coaches clients in using them between meetings.
Precious emphasizes a direct and energetic working style. She helps people build specific skills for communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving. To start, readers are asked to follow the site's online steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Precious commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take concrete steps that align with those values even when emotions are difficult.She also integrates trauma-focused methods when past events are keeping someone stuck. That can include structured processing of memories and techniques aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic reactions. These approaches are explained in clear, step-by-step language so clients know what to expect.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they outline a plan and adjust it as progress is made.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. The main practical benefits of remote work are easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, and options for shorter or phone-based check-ins when a full video meeting isn't possible. These adaptations can make it simpler to practice skills in daily life without traveling to an office.
