Carrie Johnson, LPC

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, addiction, and self-esteem concerns in a direct, compassionate way. Carrie aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy lives.

Carrie's work draws on client-centered methods to meet people where they are. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. She also incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, mindfulness practices, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are part of the picture.

People come to Carrie for help with stress at work, relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, and major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, substance use problems, identity questions, and attachment or abandonment wounds. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that can be used between meetings.

Carrie aims to respect each person's background and cultural identity. She pays attention to how culture, immigration experiences, and first responder stress can shape coping. Her style is collaborative - she listens, offers tools, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Practical skills, emotion regulation, and better communication are common focuses in her work. To begin, she helps people set realistic goals and creates a plan that fits daily life. Carrie welcomes people who want straightforward support for real-world problems.

How Carrie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so people feel heard and can set goals that matter to them. It helps with motivation, low mood, and deciding next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific techniques to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with impulse control.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing them in a paced way alongside specific bilateral stimulation. It is commonly used for trauma and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts the plan based on how things go. Clients and the therapist review goals and pick strategies that fit needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity during life changes. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Choosing online sessions can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that helps someone focus on the work at hand.
