About Ingrid

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people work through stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and other life challenges. She presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style centers on listening first and then finding small, manageable changes that fit into daily life.

With 21 years of experience as a counselor, she draws on person-centered principles that treat the client as the expert on their own life. Ingrid also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with clearer, more useful ways of thinking. Those methods aim to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming. For relationship concerns, she weaves in ideas from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to help people communicate more directly and repair connection.

In sessions, Ingrid focuses on concrete strategies such as breathing and grounding exercises, behavior experiments, communication practice, and problem-solving steps. She helps clients locate strengths they already have and build on them over time. Messages are typically answered in the evening, though response times can vary when she is attending to other responsibilities.

Outside of work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she lives in Texas with her spouse and two daughters. She provides services in English and accepts international clients; confirm session options before scheduling.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Ingrid uses person-centered methods that emphasize listening and building on a person's own strengths. That approach focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their goals and priorities.

She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT work often includes simple home practices, thought records, and small behavior changes that can be discussed and reviewed during online meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. These are concrete tools that people can practice between sessions, such as grounding exercises, paced breathing, and step-by-step coping plans.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. Clients and therapist work together to choose techniques that match the person's needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and support ongoing practice of skills between sessions. Many clients find virtual sessions simpler to fit into their routine and useful for keeping momentum on real-life changes.
