About Precious

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She is based in Louisiana and brings 19 years of work as a psychotherapist and supervisor to her practice. Her approach focuses on clear conversations and practical steps to address the problems people bring to therapy.

She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through relationship worries, parenting strains, grief, addiction concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes that add up over time. She listens, offers encouragement, and explains strategies in everyday language so clients can use them between sessions. Precious often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR, and motivational interviewing depending on the concern and client preference. Treatment plans are shaped collaboratively, not prescribed ahead of time. Practical skills, coping tools, and goals are common parts of her sessions.

She supports people dealing with family conflict, abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and mood conditions like bipolar or disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Her work also addresses issues faced by LGBT clients and men's issues. Overall, she focuses on helping people build day-to-day coping, improve communication, and find clearer paths forward.

The aim is steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Precious commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action, especially when coping with life changes or persistent distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy stays relevant to real life needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people work face to face when they can, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
