She is really nice and is very patient. She's got the good knowledge and you can take as much time as you need with her. She's really easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable with her. She's a no nonsense and helps you get to the point, and a very good guide when it comes to talking to get to the point.

  • 7 years' experience

Hello my name is Patricia “Patt” Carrington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Wisconsin. I am a compassionate professional with 30 years of experience in providing social services, case management and trauma counseling working with diverse groups of all ages. I have a calm and easy-going demeanor with the ability to a create a working rapport, develop trust and maintain meaningful relationships. I am non-judgmental, solution focused, and results-oriented.

My specialties include working with individuals whom suffer from anxiety, depression, anger management concerns, adjustment disorders and substance use. I work with individuals, couples, and youths as they face challenges through life's transitions. Together we will work as a team to find workable solutions that fit in your life's journey.

I began my career as a social worker working with women and children impacted by abuse and trauma issues. I love helping people find the best path for themselves, as you are the most knowledgeable about what works best in your life. My therapy style and approach is influenced by Solution-Focused Therapy which is future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions to help you get to the place in your life where you can be the best version of yourself. We will work together as a team to help you set goals and learn ways to navigate life's daily challenges.

Thank you for checking out my site! Before we start working together I just wanted to give a little information about scheduling. I am available evenings and weekends. As single parent I always looked for providers and activities that were available after day-working/school hours. I continued this into private my practice for families who could not miss work or school, but needed therapy services to accommodate their lives. I am available weekday evenings after 6:00pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00am to 4:00pm. I check messages about 2-3 times per day, usually in the morning, afternoon and evening. I will always respond within 24 hours. I look forward to chatting with you and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out!

About online counseling

Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
