About Ingrid
In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really think and feel. She works alongside clients to identify immediate goals and practical steps. Ingrid emphasizes honest conversation and clear, manageable strategies rather than long, abstract explanations.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, and she brings methods suited to processing difficult memories and strong emotions. She also addresses issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, and caregiver stress. Clients with complicated concerns or overlapping issues are helped to prioritize what matters most in daily life.
Ingrid uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She tailors these methods to each person’s needs and pace. The aim is steady progress through practical skills, emotion regulation, and understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Starting is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How Ingrid’s Approaches Work Online
Ingrid commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to help people change unhelpful thoughts and process painful memories. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people work through traumatic memories to reduce their emotional charge and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust plans as progress is made.
