Ingrid Johnson, LPC

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, and broader midlife transitions. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her style is steady and respectful, aimed at helping clients find practical ways forward.

She draws on client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the client’s goals and values. That means conversations center on what the client knows about their life, while the therapist offers questions and reflections to clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used alongside this to help break unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to build manageable daily habits.

In practice, sessions look like working through current problems, learning coping skills for stress and anxiety, and identifying steps to improve sleep, mood, or relationships. She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method when those tools fit the situation. The emphasis is on simple, usable skills rather than jargon.

With 21 years of counseling experience and previous work in school settings, she offers knowledge on parenting, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and aging concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleep problems, and career or identity questions.

She responds to messages mainly in the evening and aims to be clear about scheduling and next steps. Outside work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she lives in Texas with her family.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients steer the conversation toward what matters most. Online sessions using this approach tend to be conversational and goal-focused, helping people clarify values and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. In remote sessions this often means setting short at-home practices, tracking patterns between meetings, and reviewing what worked.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These techniques help when stress, anger, or strong emotions make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining styles or focusing on one method until clear progress appears.

The practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online care can make it easier to check in during an evening break or keep ongoing weekly meetings while traveling. Because this biography does not specify formats, confirm which session types are offered before booking. The focus is on making therapy useful and workable alongside everyday life.
