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 people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, and anger. Sessions are aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.
She usually begins by listening to what matters most and then maps out simple goals. Precious uses cognitive behavioral techniques day-to-day and draws on other methods when they fit the problem. She explains tools clearly and gives homework that people can try between sessions.
Her work includes helping people handle family tensions and major life transitions. She also helps clients who face grief, issues around adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. Men's issues, body image, and isolation are also areas she addresses.
For clients who have experienced trauma she may use trauma-focused methods including EMDR alongside talk-based skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches match the goals. The aim is to build practical coping skills and clearer thinking.
Precious explains options and helps people choose what to try first. She asks about daily routines, relationships, and specific moments when anger or anxiety flares. That helps make short-term work focused and easier to apply in real life.
How clinical approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from frustration or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life changes; it suits problems like anxiety, depression, and anger linked to automatic reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the intensity of painful memories and reactions when past events drive current distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Precious will talk with the client about what they want to change and what feels doable. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, ACT strategies, DBT skills for emotion regulation, or trauma processing like EMDR. The plan can be adjusted as progress is seen.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or commuting. Sessions can be used for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or deeper trauma-focused work depending on what the therapist offers. The focus is on practical tools that can be used between sessions to manage anger, reduce reactivity, and improve daily functioning.
