About Carrie

Carrie Johnson is an LPC based in Texas who draws on a client-centered foundation and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage depression, trauma, addiction, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She brings 14 years of clinical experience to a practice that emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, aiming to help clients clarify goals and build coping skills for everyday life. Carrie works with a broad range of challenges, including workplace stress, social anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and substance use.

Her background includes mindfulness-informed work and EMDR techniques for processing traumatic memories, paired with strengths-based support to foster resilience and healthier patterns. She also addresses areas like attachment and codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, and impulses that interfere with daily functioning.

Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process that blends evidence-informed approaches with practical coaching to support recovery, personal growth, and improved well-being.

Applying CBT, Client-Centered Care, and EMDR Techniques Online

Many interventions translate well to remote work; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering structured tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients’ own goals to foster self-discovery and emotional growth. EMDR-informed techniques help people process traumatic memories through guided attention and structured protocols that can reduce the intensity of distressing recollections.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative: the therapist works with each person to assess symptoms, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods accordingly. Clients often try a combination of strategies over several sessions, and treatment plans are adjusted based on what proves most helpful for coping, healing, and daily functioning.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote communication. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support from varied locations, make follow-up and skill coaching more accessible, and help clients stay engaged in therapy alongside work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
