About Precious

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with nearly two decades of practice. She brings 19 years of experience as a psychotherapist and supervisor. She aims to offer straightforward, respectful support to people facing hard moments.

She sees concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and difficulties with relationships and parenting. She also helps with issues like grief, addiction, body image, and compassion fatigue. Eating and food-related issues are listed among her areas of focus.

Her main style leans on cognitive behavioral techniques, but she uses a mix of approaches to match each person. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas, skills from dialectical behavior work, trauma-focused steps, EMDR elements, and motivational interviewing when useful. She works collaboratively to pick practical steps that fit the individual.

Sessions emphasize listening first, then offering encouragement and education. Clients can expect clear suggestions, coping tools, and help making small changes that add up. The tone in sessions is meant to be warm, nonjudgmental, and energetic.

Precious describes her role as helping people build stronger day-to-day coping and a brighter emotional future. She invites people to start with a short assessment to find the right plan and next steps.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful behavior rather than trying to erase every uncomfortable feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often includes practical homework and short-term tools for managing mood and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can help with relationship strain, anger, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That process is collaborative and paced to what feels useful.

If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, makes follow-up between visits easier, and supports focused skill practice from wherever they are. Ask about format details when you schedule so the sessions match your routine and practical needs.
