About Carrie

Carrie Johnson is an LPC in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She centers her work on Internal Family Systems alongside other evidence-informed methods to help people process trauma, address addictions, and rebuild self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her style emphasizes collaboration and strength-focused work, guiding clients through emotional healing and practical change while honoring each person’s background and identity. Carrie helps people navigate a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, career transitions, and stress related to caregiving or life disruption.

She also supports clients facing challenges such as attachment wounds, codependency, substance use, gender dysphoria, immigration stress, and communication difficulties. Sessions integrate approaches like EMDR and CBT when appropriate, with attention to somatic awareness and paced, respectful pacing.

Known for an approachable and attentive presence, she combines practical tools with deeper internal work to foster resilience and clearer decision-making. Carrie accepts clients in English and is available to international clients, adapting session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Using Internal Work and Practical Therapies Online

Internal Family Systems helps people explore the different parts inside themselves - curious, protective, wounded - to reduce internal conflict and foster self-leadership; it can be useful for trauma, shame, and patterns that keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client’s pace and supports growth through empathy and active listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers structured ways to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to determine whether internal exploration, skills-based CBT, EMDR-informed interventions, or a blend of methods best fits their goals, values, and comfort level. Treatment plans are adapted over time as needs and preferences evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from local clinicians. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to pick the format that feels most accessible. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
