About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor and clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin who brings a warm, steady presence to therapy.
Background and approach
Patricia holds LPC and CSW credentials and draws on seven years of direct clinical experience in therapeutic settings, alongside a longer background in social services and trauma-informed case work. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving, helping clients define goals and develop coping strategies that fit their daily lives.
Patricia works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, and a range of other concerns such as ADHD, intimacy issues, and career transitions. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered sensitivity and emotion-focused methods, and integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing where appropriate.
Patricia aims to be nonjudgmental and solution-oriented while building trust and an effective working rapport. Clients can expect a therapist who prioritizes realistic, goal-directed work and who adapts methods to each person’s needs.
She offers flexible scheduling including weekday evenings and weekend hours to accommodate busy routines, and supports therapy through a mix of real-time and messaging session formats.
Approach and Access: Therapy Methods for Online Care
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on concrete techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments to support change in day-to-day life.
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and partnering with the client to explore values, goals, and personal strengths. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they identify the changes they want to make.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then blends methods so the work feels relevant and effective for each person. She encourages open conversation about what’s working and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support.
