About Precious
Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 19 years of experience as a psychotherapist and supervisor. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship problems, and life changes. She also works with people facing addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. She often draws on cognitive behavioral methods but adapts tools based on each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and realistic steps clients can use between meetings.
Clients can expect a direct, respectful conversational style that includes teaching and encouragement. Sessions may cover coping skills, communication techniques, boundary-setting, and planning for change. When trauma is central, methods such as EMDR and trauma-focused techniques can be part of the work.
She also addresses family-related concerns and parenting stress by helping individuals clarify roles, set limits, and improve day-to-day routines. Additional focuses include issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
Precious integrates motivational interviewing to support change and DBT strategies for emotion regulation when needed. Her approach centers on practical tools that fit into busy lives and on helping people make steady progress toward clearer goals.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when someone feels stuck by worry, parenting demands, or role changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress and teaching concrete strategies to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills training for intense feelings and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT exercises, adding ACT values work, and using DBT skills when emotions run high. The plan can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins between tasks. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps, or shorter phone check-ins for quick support. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so progress stays practical and manageable.
