About Patricia

Patricia “Patt” Carrington is a Wisconsin-based licensed therapist who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, youths, and families. She holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and a CSW, a recognized social work credential, and draws on a background in social services, case management, and trauma counseling to inform a compassionate, steady approach. Patricia is known for a calm, easygoing manner that supports rapport and trust while remaining non-judgmental, solution-focused, and oriented toward measurable progress.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with matters related to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, blended-family dynamics, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and codependency. Patricia partners with people facing life transitions to identify practical, individualized strategies and to set achievable goals.

Grounded in a belief that people are the experts on their own lives, she integrates solution-focused principles to help clients move toward the changes they want. Patricia emphasizes collaboration, clear goal-setting, and skill-building so that clients can navigate daily challenges and pursue meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Patricia draws on client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, respectful space where a person’s perspective guides the work - this approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer self-understanding, and collaborative goal-setting. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. In addition, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) informs her work with couples and relationship concerns by helping partners understand and reshape emotional patterns that affect connection and intimacy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with what the individual or couple hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and check in between appointments when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based approaches effectively through these remote formats to support meaningful progress.
