About Ingrid

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who want help managing anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and changes that come with life transitions.

She frames therapy around a client-centered approach. That means she listens first, and helps people name what matters to them. Ingrid also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions are practical and focused on day-to-day challenges.

In session she helps clients sort through current problems and identify skills they already have. She offers tools for stress reduction and strategies to handle strong emotions. The work often includes tracking thoughts, practicing new responses, and rehearsing conversations that have felt difficult.

Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, attachment and blended family issues, and problems with control or codependency.

Ingrid combines straightforward discussion with skill-building exercises. Communication and collaboration are emphasized; she describes therapy as a partnership. Outside work she jogs, walks her dog, and spends time with her spouse and two daughters.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the client brings to the room. Online this means conversations that begin with your concerns and priorities, with the therapist guiding but not directing the agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often uses written worksheets, behavior tracking, and brief between-session exercises to change daily patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Remotely these skills can be practiced in session and reinforced with handouts or short homework tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ingrid will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve over time.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can save travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, and let people do short check-ins without needing a long commute. Phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, while video makes it easier to use worksheets and practice skills together. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions fit your routine.
