About Carolyn
Carolyn Johnson Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings five years of counseling experience and a practical, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Carolyn focuses on helping people take small, useful steps when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
She approaches work collaboratively and adapts methods to fit each person. She uses Narrative ideas to help clients reframe life stories, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client. Carolyn has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also works with matters such as parenting strain, addiction, sleeping problems, career transitions, and coping with life changes.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Her style balances practical skill-building with space to tell and reshape personal stories. She encourages clients to notice small changes and test new ways of responding when life feels hard.
Treatment plans are made together and adjusted as needs shift. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Carolyn notes services are not intended for people in immediate danger or facing emergency circumstances.

Online session options
How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Carolyn draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice and retell the stories they carry. That can reduce shame and open up new choices about identity and relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small, manageable actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Plans are adjusted as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth needs, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines while keeping focus on meaningful change.
