About Ingrid
Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 21 years of counseling experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps people sort through life’s day-to-day challenges. Ingrid focuses on practical skills that clients can use between sessions to reduce stress and manage anxiety.
Her work is rooted in Client-Centered Therapy, which means she follows the client's lead and treats each person as the expert on their own life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change routines that keep problems going. Ingrid blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.
She has a long history helping people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and issues tied to parenting and family stress. Additional areas of focus include codependency, attachment concerns, aging and caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges with eating and sleep.
In session she works with clients to build practical tools - breathing and grounding, thought records, behavior experiments, and communication skills. Messages are typically answered in the evening when possible, though response times can vary if she is attending to other professional or personal responsibilities.
Outside of work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog and is married with two daughters. To begin, clients follow the site’s start process and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's goals in session. Online sessions using this approach typically center on the person's priorities and on building a trusting working relationship through regular conversation and check-ins.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT often uses short skill practice, thought records, and simple behavior experiments that clients can do between sessions to test new ways of coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When used online, DBT-style work emphasizes skills practice, coaching around specific problems, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed to find what helps most.
