About Carrie

Carrie Johnson, LPC, centers her work on thoughts and everyday habits. She focuses on how daily thinking patterns and routines affect mood, relationships, and behavior. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, and low self-esteem to find clearer ways forward.

Carrie draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and create practical behavior changes. She also incorporates EMDR and mindfulness tools when they fit a person's goals.

She brings 14 years of experience working with concerns such as grief, trauma, relationship struggles, and career stress. Her practice includes attention to attachment, codependency, caregiver stress, and issues that come from family of origin patterns. She also addresses challenges like impulsivity, infidelity, and gender dysphoria.

Therapy with Carrie emphasizes collaboration and strengths. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce patterns that cause repeated problems. She supports people through transitions and recovery with clear, practical steps.

She practices in Texas and works in English. People can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and tools they can use between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood as they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life when trauma is a key issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and comfort. Sessions can mix approaches and adjust over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone continue care when relocating or working across time zones. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and EMDR strategies to work in remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
