Carolyn Johnson Fields

Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings five years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and counseling to her work. Carolyn focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from LeTourneau University. Carolyn emphasizes a practical, collaborative approach. She listens first, then helps people build skills they can use outside sessions.

Her work often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy to address patterns of thought and questions about meaning. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those methods fit a person’s goals. Sessions focus on clear steps, homework when helpful, and real-world coping strategies.

People come to Carolyn for many concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting stress, addictions, intimacy questions, and sleep problems. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges tied to family of origin.

Carolyn invites people to talk through what they’re facing and to shape a plan together. She describes counseling as a process that can produce meaningful change when approached with openness and collaboration.

How Carolyn’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when stress, anxiety, or anger get in the way of living the way someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns into manageable parts and teaches practical skills to change them, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction-related habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are common.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Carolyn will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then tailor methods from these approaches to fit what the client needs. The plan can change over time based on progress and feedback.
