About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of practice. She works with adults on concerns like depression, trauma, addiction, stress, self-esteem, relationship problems, and career changes. Her work also includes support for LGBT clients and people facing grief, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues.
Carrie uses a mix of practical, talk-based approaches to help people manage symptoms and make decisions that fit their lives. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also offers EMDR for clients processing traumatic memories and uses mindfulness exercises to build calm and focus.
In sessions she helps people name what feels wrong, set realistic goals, and try manageable steps between meetings. Conversations may cover relationships, work stress, substance use, or family-of-origin patterns. She also addresses specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, impulse control, and forgiveness work.
Carrie has experience working with first responders, immigrants, and people dealing with gender dysphoria or identity questions. Her background in multicultural counseling informs how she discusses culture, identity, and stressful life events. Practical problem-solving and skill practice are common parts of her work.
To begin, she asks people to describe their main concerns and goals so sessions stay focused and useful. She supports clients through change and grief, helps clarify next steps, and checks in on progress as therapy continues.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads what matters most. Online sessions let clients talk through troubles, set goals, and test small changes while the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors; it often includes homework such as practicing specific skills between sessions. EMDR helps people process traumatic memories through guided bilateral stimulation and can be adapted into remote formats with planned preparation and pacing.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that suit the current concern, and adjust as needs or goals change. Clients help shape the plan by sharing what works for them and what feels manageable in daily life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into study or work days easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes continued work possible if someone moves or travels internationally. The focus is on practical fit - finding ways to use therapeutic tools in everyday routines rather than promising a specific delivery method.
