About Ingrid

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to untangle daily problems and improve coping.

Background and approach

Parents and individuals worried about sleep, eating, grief, or addictive behaviors will find a calm, steady point of contact. Ingrid writes back most evenings and aims to work as a partner in the process.

Her approach centers on the client’s experience and practical skills. She draws on client-centered therapy to listen first and help clients name what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving. She also incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful.

Ingrid has worked in counseling for 21 years and brings long-term experience to everyday problems. She connects clinical ideas to real life tasks, like changing routines, managing overwhelm, or repairing communication patterns.

She also brings knowledge of adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and blended family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She accepts international clients and practices from Texas as a Texas and Arizona LPC. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

People who choose to work with Ingrid usually find clear steps and homework between sessions. She encourages small, steady changes and helps clients build tools they can use after therapy ends.

How online sessions use focused approaches

Ingrid brings together the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that fits online work. The Gottman Method provides clear tools for improving communication and reducing conflict in close relationships, focusing on skills you can practice between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapist follows your lead and adapts to your pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and routines and teaches small experiments to change day-to-day habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Ingrid will talk with each person about goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process means clients and the therapist pick what fits the issue and the person’s preferences rather than sticking to one method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice communication skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework review, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing busy lives.
