About Precious

Precious Douse is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who centers her work in evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

With 15 years of professional experience, she guides individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life transitions. Her approach combines practical skills training with thoughtful exploration to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and develop healthier coping strategies.

She also addresses family and parenting difficulties, career and financial stressors, compassion fatigue, anger, and self-esteem issues, and brings attention to attachment, codependency, blended family dynamics, and forgiveness work when appropriate. Precious adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's unique circumstances, offering a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate therapeutic presence.

She encourages clients to view the initial step toward therapy as an act of bravery and supports them through the process of finding practical, meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Precious uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT work typically involves setting clear goals, practicing new ways of thinking, and applying coping strategies between sessions.

She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes a respectful, empathetic relationship and encourages clients to explore their experience at their own pace; this approach supports emotional processing around relationship issues, trauma, and identity concerns. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients are weighing change or seeking greater clarity about goals, offering a collaborative, nonjudgmental way to strengthen motivation and commitment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the focus as progress unfolds. That shared decision-making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Georgia without needing to travel, and they allow clients to maintain continuity of treatment while balancing everyday responsibilities.
