About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting challenges in clear, straightforward ways. Carrie aims to create a respectful space where someone can talk through what feels overwhelming and start making manageable changes.
Carrie blends client-centered work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness practices to steady emotions and EMDR for people processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Sessions emphasize small, realistic steps that can fit into a busy life. Many people come for help with relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief, or career stress.
She also supports those coping with anger, attachment wounds, substance use issues, and parenting concerns. Carrie listens for patterns rooted in family of origin, codependency, or past abandonment and helps clients map a path forward. Her practice often combines talk work with brief in-session exercises that teach new coping skills.
She focuses on the here-and-now while noting how past experiences shape current responses. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better daily functioning. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Carrie works with people who want a collaborative approach that balances support, skills, and practical problem solving.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and pacing. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, offering reflection and support to help clarify choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT often includes simple homework between sessions and step-by-step plans to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during care.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and do exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging allows for brief coaching, ongoing problem-solving, or support between longer meetings. Together these formats make it easier to access consistent, skills-based therapy while fitting sessions into a busy life.
