About Carrie

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on practical, person-focused therapy. She helps people manage anger, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress in straightforward sessions. Carrie uses evidence-informed approaches and a warm, down-to-earth style to guide people through change.

Carrie spends time listening first, then helps clients set clear goals they can work toward between sessions. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Background and approach

For people with difficult memories, she offers EMDR as one option to lessen the intensity of those memories. Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience supporting a wide range of concerns. She has worked with people coping with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, family of origin wounds, and struggles with substance use.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues that arise after disasters or immigration stress. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Carrie teaches breathing and mindfulness exercises, helps people practice new communication habits, and breaks big problems into smaller steps.

She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a concern. People who choose Carrie often want clear strategies plus a therapist who listens without judgment. She accepts clients in English and works with international clients when appropriate.

Her practice is based in Texas and she offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new ways of responding to anger, anxiety, or depression. It works well for stress, mood concerns, and many everyday problems.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them clarify goals and values. This approach helps people feel heard and supports steady progress on issues like self-esteem, identity, and relationship choices.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for people dealing with traumatic memories. It aims to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories through guided processing. It is often paired with grounding and mindfulness exercises to help manage strong feelings that come up in sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful, try methods that match a client's needs, and adjust plans based on how the client responds. Goals and preferences guide the selection, and methods can be combined over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper therapeutic work and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter coaching-style contacts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
