Carolyn Johnson Fields , LPC

Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a warm, hopeful approach to counseling. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from LeTourneau University, and she values the potential for growth that therapy can create. Carolyn approaches counseling as a collaborative process - she seeks to meet people where they are and tailors her work to each person's personality, goals, and circumstances.

She has supported people from varied backgrounds with concerns such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety and panic, grief and loss, divorce and separation, and other life challenges. Her work also includes skill-building and development to help clients manage personal conflicts and distress. Carolyn's theoretical orientation leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method focused on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - and Existential Therapy - which explores meaning, values, and life choices to foster a more authentic life.

Carolyn believes that openness and collaboration enhance the therapeutic journey and that meaningful change can emerge over time. Her services are not intended for people in immediate danger or emergency situations; if someone is in danger they should call 911 or local emergency services.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Carolyn Johnson Fields draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy to guide her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, values, and choice, helping people navigate life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or struggles with purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques to suit individual circumstances rather than applying one rigid model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere. These options make scheduling easier, support continuity of care during life changes, and provide different ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable for them.
