About Carolyn
Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She holds graduate training in counseling and brings a human-centered perspective that emphasizes each person’s potential for growth.
Background and approach
Carolyn sees counseling as a collaborative process and aims to tailor interventions to the individual rather than using a single, rigid method. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, parenting and career challenges, and coping with life changes.
She also works with issues related to attachment, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, domestic violence, eating and substance use concerns, and family-of-origin dynamics. Carolyn’s theoretical orientation leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy, and she integrates other evidence-informed approaches as needed to match clients’ personalities and goals.
She asks clients to engage openly in the counseling process so they can develop skills, gain perspective, and work toward meaningful change.
Integrating proven approaches into online care
Carolyn commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and reducing distress. CBT is well suited to problems like anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and situational stress because it focuses on skills and structured practice.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to encourage mindful acceptance of difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committed action. ACT can be helpful for clients who want to live more in line with what matters to them despite persistent emotions or urges. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are integrated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions or instability.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work Carolyn does with each client. She partners with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what methods fit their personality and circumstances, and then adapts techniques over time as the work evolves.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and access therapy from wherever the client is located within Texas.
