About Carrie
Carrie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people facing hard moments. She brings 14 years of experience working with depression, trauma, addiction, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Carrie aims for clear, direct support that helps people feel less stuck and more able to cope. Carrie combines relationship-focused tools like the Gottman Method with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral strategies.
In sessions she helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others. That approach is useful for concerns such as intimacy issues, communication problems, infidelity, and attachment wounds.
She also uses EMDR and mindfulness practices when those approaches match a person's goals. Those tools can help process traumatic memories and reduce the hold of upsetting thoughts or sensations.
Carrie explains options plainly so people can choose what feels right for them. Carrie works with many life themes such as career struggles, grief, parenting strain, LGBT identity questions, immigration-related stress, and caregiver burnout.
She pays attention to how culture and background shape each person's experience and priorities. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill building, and building internal resources.
Carrie supports people through transitions, relapse prevention for substance issues, and rebuilding trust after breaches. She aims to walk alongside clients at whatever pace they need.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Online sessions can use the Gottman Method to focus on communication and managing conflict. That work looks like learning specific conversation skills, practicing gentle start-ups, and increasing positive interactions to reduce destructive cycles in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective. It emphasizes empathic listening and building a collaborative space where the client’s priorities shape the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carrie will discuss these options with each person, adapt methods to fit their goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. The aim is to find strategies that feel useful and doable rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face for role plays or emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Text or live chat can provide shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options make scheduling flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
