Carrie Johnson, LPC

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through midlife shifts, addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem struggles. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.

Carrie uses approaches that center the person in therapy. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness tools to address trauma and to calm racing thoughts.

Clients often come for help with relationship strain, career crossroads, parenting stress, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Carrie pays attention to attachment patterns, abandonment worries, and family of origin issues that affect current choices. She also supports people dealing with substance use, codependency, and the fallout from infidelity.

Therapy sessions focus on clear goals and doable practice between meetings. Carrie offers coaching-style guidance when people are making life changes or exploring new directions. She explains techniques plainly and checks in about what’s working and what needs to change.

Because she values culture and identity, Carrie makes space for conversations about gender, sexual orientation, immigration, and first responder stress. Sessions move at the client’s pace and emphasize building resilience, better communication, and more satisfying daily routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, so online sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and shaping goals together. This approach helps when someone is sorting values, navigating midlife decisions, or wanting steady support while trying new behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses simple exercises to test new ideas and habits. Online CBT often uses homework exercises, worksheets, and short experiments between sessions to build momentum for change.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional charge. In remote work, the therapist guides the replay and processing steps and pairs them with grounding or mindfulness practices to help regulate emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences and then try methods that seem like a good fit. That process is collaborative and may involve adjusting techniques over time.

Confirm the therapist's current session offerings before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, shrink commute time, and allow brief check-ins when life is busy. It can also let people use written exercises and home-based practice between sessions to reinforce growth.
