Carrie Johnson, LPC

Carrie Johnson is a Texas-licensed LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 14 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex life challenges. She centers her work on trauma, addiction, depression, and self-esteem concerns while also supporting clients facing stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and issues related to identity and sexual orientation. Her practice emphasizes culturally responsive care and multicultural counseling to honor diverse backgrounds and lived experiences.

Carrie combines a collaborative, strengths-based approach with practical interventions designed to build resilience and promote meaningful change. She works with individuals on career questions, parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, and a wide range of emotional struggles including anxiety, anger, shame, and codependency. Her services also address more specific focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin dynamics, first responder stress, and substance use challenges.

As a certified EMDR clinician, Carrie incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing techniques alongside somatic exercises when appropriate to support trauma processing and bodily awareness. She integrates client-centered listening and evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral strategies to tailor care to each person’s goals. Carrie welcomes clients seeking growth, healing, and practical tools for coping with life transitions and longstanding patterns, and she brings steady professional insight and empathy to each therapeutic relationship.

Evidence-based approaches delivered through online care

Carrie Johnson integrates EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps the brain process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used for survivors of abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and learning practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior; it is commonly helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges.

She also uses client-centered principles, which emphasize respectful listening, empathy, and collaboration. This approach helps create a therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and problem solving, allowing the therapist and client to choose interventions that fit the client’s goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carrie works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods best match their needs and preferences. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, geographic barriers, and varying comfort levels with communication. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core therapeutic work through these formats, enabling consistent access to care while adapting pace and tools to each client’s situation.
