About Ingrid
Ingrid Johnson is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way that aims to make therapy practical and easy to use. Ingrid offers empathetic support while helping people sort through everyday problems and find steps they can try right away.
With 21 years of experience, Ingrid draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to try new ways of responding to difficult situations and to reduce overwhelming feelings. Ingrid also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and emotion-focused ideas when strong feelings or relationship problems are part of the concern.
She helps people build skills for coping, communicating, and managing intense moments. The Gottman Method informs her work when communication and relationship repair are a focus. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and caregiver stress.
Ingrid also offers support around parenting, adoption and foster care challenges, attachment worries, and blended family dynamics. She typically responds to messages in the evening and aims to make therapy a collaborative partnership. Outside of work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she lives in Texas with her spouse and two daughters.

How Ingrid's approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead to identify what matters most. In online sessions this means starting from the client's concerns and shaping sessions around their goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. It is useful for everyday problems like sleep, worry, anger, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interactions with others, which can be helpful for anger and relationship difficulties.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what works best for the person. That shared decision-making helps tailor care to real-life needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick updates, ongoing support, and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
