About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Certified Social Worker, CSW, licensed in Wisconsin. She has seven years of direct counseling experience and a long background in social services and case management. Her work includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues common in young adults such as career, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Patricia uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. She listens, helps people set clear steps, and works with them to try different approaches when needed. Sessions often focus on practical tools for managing anxiety, coping with change, and improving communication in relationships.
Her earlier social work concentrated on supporting people affected by abuse and trauma. That history informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and rebuilding routines after difficult experiences. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, and caregiver stress.
Therapeutic methods she draws from include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those approaches are used to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics in clear, actionable ways.
Patricia works with adults on a range of concerns that often appear in early adulthood: navigating first jobs, forming relationships, managing money stress, and feeling stuck after school. She conducts sessions in English and practices from Wisconsin. To start, users complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on building a collaborative relationship. The therapist reflects concerns, helps prioritize goals, and follows the person’s lead to find what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It offers simple exercises and small experiments to test new ways of reacting to stress, anxiety, or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions in relationships and work toward clearer communication and connection.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Patricia will discuss which approaches fit the issues and your preferences. That means together you decide whether to emphasize skills practice, emotional exploration, or both as you move forward.
The site describes how to start but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, evening times after work, or not needing to travel. Different approaches lend themselves to different session styles: CBT often includes between-session exercises, while EFT may use longer conversations about relationships. The therapist will help match the format and approach to practical needs and goals.
