About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, anxiety, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions around identity and gender. Carrie works with adults who are managing grief, career pressures, eating and body-image concerns, or the fallout of infidelity and abandonment.
Carrie uses a client-centered style that keeps the person's priorities at the center of sessions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates EMDR and mindfulness practices when these methods fit the client's needs.
In-session, Carrie aims to help people name what is most stressful and try concrete ways to change it. That can look like practicing new communication skills, testing small behavior changes, or using mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. She also supports work on past trauma through EMDR when appropriate.
Her background includes focused work with people facing substance use and addiction, caregiver stress, first-responder related issues, and family-of-origin concerns. She also offers support around gender and sexual identity questions and related relationship challenges.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. Carrie asks about what is already helpful, what feels stuck, and what a reasonable first step would be. The approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person's situation.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and perspectives. It means the therapist listens for what the person sees as most important and bases sessions on those goals. This approach helps when someone needs practical support for parenting stress, grief, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior experiments, and building new habits to reduce anxiety or depression. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a method used to work through traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; it is often chosen when trauma symptoms need targeted work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with a client to decide which methods to try first, and she adjusts the plan as progress is seen or goals change. That conversation includes discussing how EMDR, CBT, or mindfulness practices might fit the person's concerns and pace.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help when a quicker, simpler session is needed.
