About Carrie

Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with anger, depression, trauma, addiction, and stress. Carrie focuses on practical steps people can use right away to manage emotions and handle stressful situations.

She uses client-centered conversations to help people name problems and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when thoughts and behaviors get in the way of daily life. She also draws on EMDR and mindfulness practices to address trauma and bodily reactions that keep problems stuck.

Clients can expect clear goals and down-to-earth tools for handling anger, relationship strain, or compulsive behaviors. Sessions look at how habits form, what keeps them going, and what small changes might cut their power. The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns are part of the difficulty.

Carrie has experience with issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, caregiver stress, addiction, and grief. She also supports people facing immigration-related challenges, gender dysphoria, and first responder stress. Her work includes coaching-style strategies for career and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people try techniques, notice what works, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching and scheduling process to arrange a first session and discuss fit and goals.

How selected approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps clients decide goals and next steps. This approach works well for anger that comes from relationship patterns or life stressors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which is useful for workplace anger or repeated outbursts. EMDR addresses trauma-linked reactions by using structured processing and body awareness techniques for memories and triggers.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means the first few sessions often focus on figuring out which methods fit best for the individual.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to decide how sessions will be organized and which practical arrangements will support progress.
