About Patricia

Patricia Carr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns, as well as difficulties with relationships, grief, self-esteem, eating issues, anger, and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses life transitions and a broad range of related struggles such as codependency, communication problems, and hospice and end-of-life concerns. Her style blends evidence-informed methods with a respectful, client-centered stance that honors each person’s authorship of their journey.

Patricia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches to support problem solving, build coping skills, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. She emphasizes practical strategies while staying attuned to individual strengths and personal values.

Patricia approaches the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort, offering encouragement during the often-difficult step of seeking help. She aims to help clients develop skills for managing challenges and cultivating more satisfying, meaningful routines and relationships.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Needs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and reduce distress; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction-related behaviors, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their priorities and develop solutions at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in the face of stress and trauma.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then recommend strategies or blends of methods that fit best. Sessions may be adjusted over time as priorities evolve and progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These options support ongoing work on skills, problem solving, and coping strategies while accommodating different lifestyles and needs.
