About Ingrid
Ingrid Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps to reduce day-to-day strain and supports people working through relationship and parenting concerns. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at finding tools that fit each person's life.
She draws on 21 years of counseling experience and places the client at the center of care. Ingrid uses client-centered techniques to listen, reflect, and help people name what matters most to them. She also brings cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Sessions are framed as a partnership where clients and therapist set goals together. Ingrid emphasizes skill-building for handling worry, improving sleep and eating patterns, and managing anger or addictive behaviors. She also helps people cope after trauma, grief, or disruptive events like natural or human-caused disasters.
Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns. She supports people dealing with codependency, communication and control issues, and emptiness or dissociation symptoms.
Outside work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she balances life with her spouse and two daughters. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to request a match and schedule according to availability.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy places the client's experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals so the work becomes practical and relevant. This approach supports emotional processing and clearer decision making.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for reducing worry, improving sleep or eating habits, and changing habits that get in the way of daily functioning. CBT is often taught as easy-to-use techniques that people can practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It offers tools for tolerating distress, regulating strong feelings, and communicating more clearly with others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reassessed as progress is made and circumstances change.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in between obligations, and accommodate quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions and help clients practice skills in everyday settings.
