Carolyn Johnson Fields , LPC

Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from LeTourneau University, and she brings a wholehearted belief in people’s innate potential to her work. Carolyn views counseling as a collaborative process that can create meaningful change in daily life and in relationships, and she aims to meet each person where they are while tailoring interventions to individual needs.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety and panic, grief and loss, divorce and separation, and a range of general life challenges. She also works with clients on skill building and coping strategies for issues such as addiction, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. Carolyn names Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy as the theoretical approaches that most often inform her work, and she adapts techniques to fit each client’s personality and goals.

Carolyn welcomes exploration about what a counseling journey might look like and collaborates with clients to identify practical steps toward their goals. Her services are not intended for people in immediate danger or in the midst of an emergency; anyone in need of urgent help should call 911 or local emergency services.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Carolyn Johnson Fields commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, offering practical tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, stress, and problematic coping habits. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, personal values, and responsibility, helping clients facing life transitions, grief, identity questions, or feelings of emptiness to clarify what matters and make more grounded choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carolyn collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing so therapy reflects each person’s values and circumstances, making adjustments as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this collaborative work. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and deeper exchange, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for those with busy schedules or who prefer more frequent, brief check-ins. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and to maintain momentum between sessions, supporting consistent progress toward personal goals.
