Carolyn Johnson Fields , LPC

Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings a hopeful, person-centered perspective to therapy. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from LeTourneau University, qualifications that support her work with individuals seeking clearer direction and greater emotional wellbeing. With five years of professional experience, she approaches counseling as a collaborative process that honors each person’s innate potential and capacity for change.

Carolyn has worked with people from varied backgrounds on concerns such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety and panic, grief and loss, divorce and separation, and a range of life challenges that can strain daily functioning. She also focuses on skill-building and personal development to help clients manage distress and move toward the outcomes they want. Her theoretical orientation leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy, and she adapts methods to fit each client’s personality, needs, and goals.

Carolyn emphasizes openness and partnership in the therapeutic journey and is available to discuss how counseling might look for an individual. Her services are not intended for people in immediate danger or emergency situations - in such cases she advises contacting 911 or local emergency services.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Carolyn often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address relationship difficulties. Existential Therapy is another influence in her practice - it encourages exploration of personal values, meaning, and choice, which can be helpful for clients facing life transitions, emptiness, or questions about purpose. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may also be used when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed to manage intense feelings or interpersonal conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carolyn collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their concerns, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt strategies over time so therapy feels personally relevant and effective.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical benefits such as greater scheduling flexibility and access from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints to connect with licensed professionals and continue consistent therapeutic progress with a qualified therapist.
