About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) based in Wisconsin. She brings seven years in a counseling role alongside long experience in social services and case management. Patricia aims to build a steady, calm connection so people feel heard and understood from the start.
She tends to work with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and substance use concerns. Patricia also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and changes like career transitions or caregiving demands.
Background and approach
Phobias are listed among her focus areas, and she addresses related fears and avoidance in session. Patricia uses a practical, solution-minded style. Sessions focus on setting clear goals and finding steps that fit daily life.
She draws on Client-Centered tools and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try small, useful changes. Her background includes years as a social worker serving women and children affected by abuse and trauma. That work shaped her calm, nonjudgmental approach and her emphasis on safety and steady progress.
Patricia describes herself as easy-going and results-oriented. She offers evening and weekend appointments to accommodate busy schedules. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their availability.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Patricia combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people address fears, anxiety, phobias, and everyday stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can talk through what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and tests small changes to reduce anxiety and avoidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods that feel manageable and that fit the client's life and aims rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and worksheets on screen, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins between appointments. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and make regular contact more practical.
