Carrie Johnson , LPC

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Carrie offers a calm, respectful presence and practical steps people can use between sessions.

She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice alternatives. EMDR is used when past events continue to cause distress, and mindfulness exercises are woven into sessions to reduce reactivity. Gottman Method ideas are brought in for people looking to improve communication and intimacy.

Carrie works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, eating issues, LGBT matters, caregiver strain, and first responder challenges. She also addresses abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, infidelity, and family of origin problems. Her approach is practical and focused on what helps in day-to-day life.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. Carrie helps clients set clear, achievable goals and tracks progress along the way. People can expect a mix of talk, skill practice, and brief experiential exercises to shift thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Therapy is offered to English-speaking clients in Texas and to international clients. Session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals. In an online session this often means open conversation, reflective feedback, and setting small, practical steps to try between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include brief teaching, worksheets or exercises sent between meetings, and practice of new skills in daily life to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.

EMDR addresses memories that keep causing emotional or physical reactions. Delivered online, EMDR involves guided attention or bilateral stimulation paired with focused processing of distressing material, and can be useful when past events continue to affect current functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and will adapt methods together with the client. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what the person wants to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style touchpoints, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
