About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor and clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin. She brings seven years of counseling experience as an LPC and CSW. Patricia offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are aimed at finding workable solutions that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
Patricia emphasizes collaboration and clear goals in every appointment. Patricia’s earlier work in social services and case management shaped her approach to trauma and family-related challenges. She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s priorities central while bringing in structured tools when helpful.
That mix supports people who want both empathy and concrete change. Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Emotionally-Focused and mindfulness-based strategies. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people clarify values and commit to change.
In session she listens, reflects, and offers small experiments clients can try between meetings. Patricia aims to make therapy fit a busy life. She offers evenings and weekend times so people who work or care for others can attend.
The focus is on realistic steps, steady progress, and building skills that carry into everyday situations.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps people identify their own priorities and strengths. This approach fits concerns like self-esteem, relationship issues, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Clients might leave sessions with simple activities to try between meetings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and shift patterns in emotional responses, which can improve relationships and intimacy-related struggles. It combines careful listening with structured tasks to help clients change how they respond to strong feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process guides which methods are used and how sessions are paced.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
