About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, trauma, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients make real changes in daily life.
Carrie works with people facing anxiety, stress, workplace pressures, and relationship struggles. She also addresses topics such as codependency, attachment and family of origin issues, and grief. Sessions emphasize practical steps for coping and clearer communication with others.
Her approach centers on the client's needs and strengths. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and blends cognitive behavioral tools to reshape unhelpful thoughts and habits. EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
She aims to create an accepting space for diverse identities, including LGBT and gender-diverse clients. Conversations cover culture, identity, and how background shapes current patterns. Carrie also supports people dealing with addiction, first responder stress, and immigration-related concerns.
In sessions, expect a collaborative process that sets small, doable goals. She often mixes mindfulness practices and skill-building exercises to manage emotions and impulses. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, and on helping clients leave each session with something they can try between meetings.
How Carrie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions using this approach focus on the client’s priorities and use reflective conversation to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought patterns and practice different behaviors. In online work CBT often includes guided exercises, homework, and short skills practice to use between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories when it fits the client’s goals; remotely this may involve adapted protocols and guided processing alongside breathing or grounding skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to use and adjust the plan over time.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support follow-up between meetings, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work on skills at home and bring real-life situations into discussion for practical problem solving.
