About Precious

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns. Precious aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and respected.

She uses clear, straightforward methods rather than jargon. Sessions commonly involve setting short-term goals, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways to handle difficult feelings. Precious draws on cognitive approaches while remaining open to what each person needs.

Background and approach

Her background includes long experience as a psychotherapist and supervisor. That history shapes how she organizes therapy sessions and supports clients through change. She brings steady guidance when people face grief, relationship problems, parenting strains, addiction-related issues, or compassion fatigue.

Precious also addresses concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, communication problems, and aging or caregiver stress. She works with mood-related diagnoses such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns when they are part of a person's story. In sessions clients can expect listening, encouragement, and practical education about skills that promote emotional well-being.

The focus is on building tools people can use between meetings and creating a plan that fits their life and goals.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill oriented. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing traumatic memories in a way that can reduce their emotional hold, and it is often used when trauma is a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, or a mix is the best path forward and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy around family, work, and other obligations. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when they can choose the format that matches their schedule and comfort level.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
