About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-esteem concerns in a straightforward and compassionate way. Carrie aims to make therapy practical and understandable for worried parents and busy adults.
She uses client-centered methods to listen first and follow each person's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolbox for processing trauma and painful memories. Carrie often supports people dealing with relationship struggles, workplace stress, grief, and changes tied to parenting or major life transitions. She also helps with issues like codependency, attachment concerns, substance use, and identity stressors.
Her work includes attention to how family of origin and caregiver roles influence current problems. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small, steady changes. Clients can expect talk-based problem solving, behavioral experiments, and grounding or mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm.
She also uses communication strategies drawn from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a concern. Therapy is offered in English and available to people inside and outside the United States. Carrie provides several formats for sessions so people can choose what fits their schedules and daily life.
Approaches that guide online care and practical steps
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their lead. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set goals that feel realistic and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It often includes short exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.Carrie will work together with clients to find the best approach for their situation. She discusses options, explains what to expect from each method, and adjusts the plan based on goals and how someone responds. That collaborative process makes it easier to try an approach and change course if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a routine check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or get support without scheduling a full session. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping consistent progress through regular contact.
