About Precious

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Her aim is to listen, encourage, and help clients build practical skills for everyday life.

She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space and brings energy to sessions. Precious often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on approaches that address trauma and emotional regulation when those fit the need.

Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. She helps people set clear steps and tries out techniques that can be used between sessions. Education and skill-building are part of the work, so clients leave with tools to manage difficult moments.

Precious has experience supervising other clinicians and has worked in clinical settings for many years. That background informs how she tracks progress and adjusts plans so goals remain realistic and achievable.

She works with a broad range of concerns, including addiction, grief, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption, attachment, caregiver stress, and aging. People who want straightforward guidance and skills-based work often find this approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication during heated moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit your situation. That process is collaborative so plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins between larger visits. Many people find skills practice and guided exercises translate well to virtual work, while others prefer in-person meetings for longer, deeper sessions; the therapist will help decide what suits each client's needs.
