About Patricia
Patricia Carrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Wisconsin with seven years in private clinical practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting questions, grief, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she does not see international clients. Patricia uses several therapeutic approaches to help clients build practical skills and clearer patterns for daily living.
Patricia draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and attachment patterns that often drive difficult interactions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing appear in her work when clients want tools for stress management or making a change.
Her background includes social work and case management with people impacted by abuse and trauma. That experience informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and practical problem solving in sessions. She aims to help people set short-term goals and find steps that fit into daily life.
Patricia describes a solution-focused orientation that emphasizes clear goals and measurable steps. She works with individuals, and the biography also mentions couples and youths in past practice contexts. Scheduling notes in her original biography explain evening and weekend appointment preferences and a message response rhythm.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions and attachment patterns that influence how they relate to others. EFT often focuses on feelings and interaction cycles, which can be discussed and practiced in conversation-based sessions. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work focused on what matters most to the client, with the therapist following the client's lead and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns and experiment with different behaviors and coping strategies between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of EFT, client-centered methods, or CBT will match their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and remove commute time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be structured to match your calendar and the types of activities you want to focus on in therapy.
