About Patricia
Patricia Carr is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, trauma, and grief. Her work also covers relationship concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and navigating major life changes.
Patricia focuses on practical problem solving and on finding what works for each person. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths people already have.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for handling intense feelings and for making healthier choices when under pressure. Her approach blends talk therapy with techniques that change behavior and thinking. Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where people set the pace. Mindfulness practices are available for learning how to calm the body and focus attention. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change and needs support moving forward.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work with people who carry the effects of past harm. Patricia has a long history helping people affected by addiction and by relationship or family struggles. She also supports those dealing with aging issues, hospices and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional fallout from divorce or loss.
Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and goal-oriented.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks questions, and reflects what is said so the person feels heard and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different reactions. Online CBT often uses homework, short skill-building exercises, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change patterns that cause trouble.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These short exercises can be practiced between sessions and fit well into video or phone formats.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will adjust tactics over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions are a good option when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work between appointments.
