About Carrie

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, anger, relationship concerns, and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, career decisions, and identity questions such as LGBT and gender dysphoria.

Carrie uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center what matters to the client and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into work with trauma when it fits the client's needs.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and problem-solving. That can mean learning ways to notice early signs of anger, practicing different responses, or planning step-by-step changes for workplace or relationship stress. Carrie offers coaching-style guidance for goal-focused work alongside therapy for deeper emotional issues.

People can expect collaborative sessions that balance talking with practical tools. Carrie adapts methods to a person’s situation and helps set clear goals. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the client and encourages open discussion of feelings and priorities. Online sessions can follow this by using conversation to map goals and decide which concerns to tackle first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns. It suits online work where clients can learn and practice skills between sessions and review progress together.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured way to process traumatic memories. When EMDR is part of the plan, the therapist and client discuss how to adapt the method for remote sessions and what supports will be used.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide whether CBT, EMDR, mindfulness practices, or a mix is best. Clients are invited to try approaches and give feedback so the plan can change as needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing commute time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to use short check-ins, schedule sessions around work, and follow up on skill practice between meetings.
