Patricia Carr , LPC

Patricia Carr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, body image and eating concerns, and major life changes.

Patricia leans on straightforward problem solving in sessions. She respects each person's ownership of their story and highlights their existing strengths. Conversations are practical and aimed at finding steps that feel doable between meetings.

Her work combines honest listening with evidence-informed techniques. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, and cognitive behavioral strategies to untangle unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they match a person's goals.

Patricia has particular experience helping people with addiction-related concerns and trauma-related challenges. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, anger, career strain, and coping after loss. Her approach is steady and direct, focused on what will help a person move forward.

Clients can expect warm, goal-focused sessions that balance reflection with action. Patricia aims to help people build skills they can use outside of therapy and to support them while they experiment with change.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client set goals together and adjust pace based on what feels right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and teaches practical skills for changing patterns. Online CBT often uses brief exercises and homework that are easy to share between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts tools based on how a person responds over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be useful when less bandwidth is available. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, focused problem solving, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum on the work between appointments.
