About Carolyn
Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings five years of experience to her work. She chose counseling because she believes people can find more health and happiness, and she approaches her work with calm optimism and practical focus. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain.
She also addresses trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and career-related stress.
How Carolyn works
Her practice includes work around self-esteem, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes. Carolyn uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy and draws from other approaches as needed. That means sessions often look at current thoughts and behaviors while also considering meaning, values, and life direction.
She tailors conversations to each person rather than following a rigid script. Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on practical skills and clearer thinking. Carolyn emphasizes building new coping strategies, improving communication, and addressing patterns that keep people stuck.
She is straightforward and warm in session, and she aims to make therapy useful and understandable. Her background includes coursework and degrees in psychology and counseling, and she practices across a range of concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, domestic violence, substance concerns, and family-of-origin problems. She offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It helps when life feels confusing or when avoidance gets in the way of meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns by changing what people do and think. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and day-to-day needs. She adapts tools from these therapies so sessions address immediate problems while building longer-term skills.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week - video for deeper conversations, phone when bandwidth is limited, chat for quicker check-ins, and messaging for short reflections or between-session support. The range of options aims to increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with their lives.
