Precious Wilkerson-Carr, LCSW

Precious Wilkerson-Carr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience practicing in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s hard. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps build steps clients can try between meetings.

Precious primarily uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on acceptance and commitment techniques, dialectical skills, EMDR for trauma work, and motivational interviewing when readiness for change is a focus. She adapts methods to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single recipe.

Clients may work on things like parenting strain, relationship tension, grief, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, or burnout. Additional focus areas include attachment and adoption-related issues, aging concerns, body image, and caregiver stress. She addresses both practical coping skills and emotional processing.

Throughout treatment she emphasizes collaboration, clear steps, and education so people leave with tools they can use. Precious explains options and helps clients pick strategies that match their goals and life situation.

How online approaches like CBT, ACT, and DBT work together

Precious uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that lead to relief. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and to clarify what matters most in life. ACT can be useful for people facing chronic stress, grief, or ongoing life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Precious talks with each person about goals, preferences, and past experiences to shape a plan. She mixes methods as needed and checks in regularly to see what’s helping.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow a longer, face-to-face style session. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting coaching between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter follow-ups, and different communication styles.
