Ingrid Johnson

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of experience helping people manage strong emotions. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. Ingrid aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can sort through problems and find workable steps forward.

She uses a person-centered approach, meaning she starts from what each person already knows about themselves. That often looks like listening closely, asking practical questions, and helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her work, helping people notice thought patterns and try different responses in day-to-day life.

Ingrid blends therapy styles to match the person in front of her. She offers tools for coping with grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and addictions. She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family dynamics.

Clients can expect direct suggestions, skill practice, and resource referrals when helpful. She aims to help people discover strengths they already have and build new routines that reduce distress. Ingrid notes she typically replies to messages in the evening and asks for patience when responses take longer.

Outside work she enjoys jogging, walking her dog, and time with her spouse and two daughters. She practices in Texas and speaks English.

How Ingrid’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Ingrid uses person-centered care to start sessions by listening and understanding what matters most to each person. This approach helps shape goals together and keeps therapy focused on the client’s priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors. CBT includes practical exercises and small experiments to change day-to-day habits that keep stress, anxiety, or anger active.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills training for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are getting in the way of daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. Clients and the therapist work together to pick tools that fit the person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for briefer check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling that works with your routine so therapy can be consistent and practical.
