Patricia Carr, LPC

Patricia Carr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of practice. She helps people facing depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships. She also supports people dealing with career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and coping with major life changes.

Patricia focuses on practical problem solving. Sessions are built around the client's goals and everyday life. She values each person's ability to shape their own path and looks for strengths to build on when problems feel overwhelming.

Her approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and mindfulness techniques. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practices skills to change behavior, and uses present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work are available when readiness and the situation call for them.

Patricia aims for clear, direct conversations that lead to small, manageable steps. She listens for what matters most and offers tools people can try between sessions. This is a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work.

People often seek her support for addiction recovery, coping after loss, anger management, and relationship stress. Her practice also includes concerns related to aging, family of origin issues, codependency, and end-of-life counseling. She helps clients find steady ways to move forward when life feels fractured.

Approaches that guide online work

Patricia integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to help people change patterns that cause distress and to center sessions on what matters most to the client. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own goals while they decide the direction of care.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change when someone feels uncertain. Together, these approaches are used flexibly based on each person's needs and readiness, and Patricia works with clients to choose what fits best through open discussion and trial over time.

Online therapy with her can happen by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use methods that match individual routines and comfort.
