About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help people facing addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. Carrie uses practical, down-to-earth methods so conversations feel useful from the first session.
She speaks English and accepts international clients who prefer remote care. Carrie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to address current problems and thought patterns. She also uses EMDR when trauma memories need targeted processing, and incorporates mindfulness to soothe strong emotions.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on clear steps and simple practices people can use between meetings. Her background includes supporting people through grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and issues around identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. She also addresses addictions, eating issues, and family-of-origin patterns that keep people stuck.
The emphasis is on practical change rather than labels. Carrie aims for collaborative care. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals and track progress.
Sessions often include conversation, skill building, and homework that fits a busy life. For parents and those thinking about family matters, she offers straightforward strategies to reduce conflict and improve communication. The goal is to make daily life less overwhelming and to help people regain a sense of choice and direction.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions allow the same attentive, person-focused conversations while people join from home. This approach helps when someone needs a steady place to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this looks like working through specific problems, trying short exercises during the call, and getting simple homework to practice between meetings. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.
Carrie also uses EMDR for processing trauma memories when appropriate. Remotely, EMDR involves guided bilateral stimulation and structured processing adapted to the online setting. It can be a focused option when past events continue to cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit their situation. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access services from different locations, and maintain continuity during life changes. The options also let people pick how they communicate when they feel most comfortable.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
