Ingrid Johnson

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She uses straightforward, practical strategies to help clients sort through daily problems and build better habits. Her style is warm and respectful and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

She centers sessions on the client’s own experience, following a person-centered philosophy that treats the client as the expert on their life. Ingrid blends that approach with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused work, and Gottman Method ideas when those tools fit the problem at hand.

With 21 years of counseling experience, Ingrid is familiar with issues like trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and sleep or eating concerns. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, and life transitions such as divorce or aging. Her work often includes practical coping skills for emotion regulation, communication, and managing overwhelm.

Ingrid aims to respond to messages in the evenings when possible and asks for patience if replies take longer because of other responsibilities. She emphasizes a collaborative therapy relationship where goals are set together and progress is tracked in small, concrete steps.

Away from work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she lives in Texas with her spouse and two daughters.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ingrid blends person-centered counseling with cognitive behavioral strategies in ways that are easy to use in online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients clarify goals and values so they can decide what to change. Cognitive behavioral work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small, concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation skills are needed, teaching practical tools for managing strong feelings and improving coping. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; she works together with clients to choose approaches that match their needs and preferences and adjusts them over time.

The therapist context did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - sessions may be shorter or scheduled around work breaks, and some formats let people connect without needing travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach skills, review homework, practice communication work, and maintain steady progress between in-person visits when those are appropriate.
