About Carrie

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anger, depression, anxiety, addiction, and stress. Carrie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through hard moments and figure out next steps.

Her work often addresses trauma, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She also helps with career questions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT and gender dysphoria matters. Many clients come for support with impulsivity, codependency, or substance use and its effects on daily life.

Carrie uses practical, collaborative methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She draws on Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes.

For trauma-related work she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing alongside grounding and body-awareness exercises. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when addressing relationship communication and conflicts. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation.

Her background includes multicultural counseling and work with first responders and people affected by disasters. Carrie supports those dealing with family-of-origin issues, immigration stress, forgiveness work, and practical caregiving strain. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Carrie’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and partnering with the person to set goals. In practice this means the therapist reflects what she hears, helps prioritize concerns, and supports the client’s choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small experiments to test new responses to stress and anger.

For trauma-related concerns she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method that helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories alongside body-awareness techniques. These approaches can help with anger, trauma symptoms, anxiety, and mood challenges when used together in a plan tailored to the person.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work can be adjusted over time.

Confirm the session formats available before scheduling, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the practical options during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions match daily routines and tech needs.
