About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, and related struggles. Patricia works with individuals facing life changes and emotional challenges, helping them find practical ways forward.
She prefers a straightforward, solution-focused way of working. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small steps will help. Patricia uses gentle questioning and clear goal-setting so clients can try new approaches between meetings. She speaks plainly about coping skills and behavior changes rather than long academic explanations.
Patricia draws on several common therapy methods that match different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship feelings are a main concern.
Her background includes long experience in social services and trauma work with diverse groups. That history informs how she understands family stress, parenting strains, and recovery after abuse. Patricia also offers support for people dealing with addiction, grief, anger, ADHD, and identity questions within LGBT concerns.
She asks clients to treat therapy as teamwork. Together they set goals and try workable steps that fit daily life. Practical scheduling preferences were part of her practice history, and she encourages prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into practical parts and supports step-by-step practice between sessions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses the conversation on the client’s priorities and helps shape goals from the client’s perspective.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how a method feels in practice. They adjust the plan over time so the approach matches current needs and what the client wants to try.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Patricia’s listed approaches lend themselves to straightforward video or phone conversations when available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and what format will best support your goals during the initial match process.
