Carolyn Johnson Fields, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Carolyn

Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. She brings five years of clinical experience and a straightforward, life-focused approach to therapy. Carolyn emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, or other difficult moments.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from LeTourneau University. As an LPC she combines structured techniques with attention to each person’s values and goals.

Background and approach

Carolyn prefers clear, short-term goals alongside deeper reflection when it fits. Her sessions tend to use tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She adapts these methods to the needs of the person in front of her rather than following one fixed plan.

Conversations focus on realistic skills, new perspectives, and small changes that add up. Carolyn works with a wide range of concerns including mood problems, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting and family-related stress, addiction issues, and problems with sleep or self-worth. She also addresses attachment and caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and the impact of family of origin patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, committed actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for stress, panic, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, managing stress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for relationship strain and strong mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn treats decisions about methods as a collaborative process. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and daily life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide an option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between sessions. These formats increase flexibility for busy schedules and can make consistent care more manageable for people balancing family, work, and other obligations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
