Carrie Johnson, LPC

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She uses practical strategies to help people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, and low self-esteem. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to make therapy feel useful from the start.

Carrie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered care to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related distress and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve focus. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

She often helps people dealing with relationship strain, struggles with intimacy, or challenges tied to family of origin and attachment. Work stress, career transitions, and grief are common topics she addresses. She also supports people navigating identity concerns such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related issues.

Practical tools are a central part of her work. Clients practice skills between sessions to manage impulses, cope with cravings, or break cycles of codependency. Carrie pays attention to how culture and background shape each person's story and adapts interventions accordingly.

People who prefer a conversational approach will find sessions focused on clear goals and step-by-step progress. She welcomes international clients and offers multiple remote formats to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How CBT, EMDR, and Client-Centered Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It often includes small, practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the distress they cause. In practice it involves guided processing of difficult memories alongside focused attention techniques to lessen emotional charge.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the client's priorities and helps them find their own solutions rather than directing every step.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Carrie will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend a path forward. That plan can change as needs evolve, and approaches are combined when useful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full sessions and visual connection, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and text or chat can support short updates or in-the-moment coping. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
