About Precious

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a Louisiana licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nearly two decades of experience as a psychotherapist and supervisor. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the practical strains of life. Her approach is warm and direct, offering a welcoming space to talk and make small changes that matter.

She sees individuals who bring challenges like relationship strain, parenting worries, grief, substance concerns, or past abuses. She often starts with concrete coping skills and then tailors a plan that fits each person’s life. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what steps can improve daily functioning.

Pearcing thoughts and behaviors is a routine part of sessions, often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while other methods are offered when helpful. She listens, offers encouragement, and teaches skills people can use between appointments. Expect clear goals, problem-solving, and workable strategies rather than long lectures.

Therapy may include work on communication, managing anger, navigating life transitions, or addressing attachment and family-related concerns. She also addresses topics such as body image, caregiver stress, and isolation. Sessions aim to build practical tools and fresh perspectives so daily life feels more manageable.

Precious emphasizes collaboration - she and each client choose methods that fit personal goals and values. With a steady, energetic manner, she helps people set achievable steps toward a brighter emotional future.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values, while teaching ways to notice and move past painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since those details are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques effectively for remote conversations, homework, and skill practice so work continues between appointments.
