Precious Wilkerson-Carr, LCSW

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with 19 years of experience as a psychotherapist and supervisor. She focuses on clear, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to listen, encourage, and teach skills that people can use right away.

She often begins by talking through what feels most urgent and then building simple steps forward. Cognitive behavioral strategies are a common starting point, but she tailors methods to each person's needs. That might include techniques for managing emotions, rebuilding routines, or addressing difficult memories.

Her background includes long experience supporting people with parenting strain, addiction concerns, relationship problems, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging and geriatric needs. Precious also works with identity and community concerns such as LGBT issues and men's issues, and with specific challenges like abandonment, attachment struggles, and body image.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, energetic presence in sessions. She uses practical tools from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing when appropriate. The focus is on what helps the individual make manageable changes and cope better day to day.

Precious invites people to set goals together and to track progress in straightforward ways. She emphasizes teaching skills and offering encouragement so people can feel more resilient and move toward a brighter emotional future.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters most and small steps toward that. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and problems with daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then try methods that match your situation. Together you will adjust the plan over time based on what helps in real life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some session types can also offer shorter check-ins or audio-only options when sitting for long video calls is difficult. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process to pick what will work best for your routine.
