About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and a range of other life challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps and problem solving rather than long lists of labels.
Patricia uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that began in the family they grew up in. She listens for repeating roles, expectations, and communication habits that still shape daily life. Together with a client she identifies small changes that make routines and relationships easier to manage.
Her background includes social work and case management, and she draws on that experience when a client needs help connecting practical resources with therapy goals. She approaches therapy in a goal-focused way and checks in often about what is working and what needs adjusting.
Therapy sessions make use of evidence-informed methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness skills, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to address specific problems like anxiety, anger, addictive behaviors, or challenges tied to family of origin issues.
Patricia favors clear, step-by-step plans over long theoretical discussions. She asks about daily routines, relationships, and what a realistic next step would look like. Clients who want concrete strategies for handling conflict, improving communication, or managing intense emotions may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood so they can pick practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it uses exercises and real-life experiments to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to strong emotions in relationships and personal patterns, and it is useful when attachment or recurring conflicts are central concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust plans as work progresses.
The site booking flow explains how to start and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different approaches lend themselves to different session activities - for example, CBT may include worksheets or behavioral experiments you try between meetings, while client-centered work focuses on conversation and reflection.
