About Ingrid

Ingrid Johnson is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, and trauma-related issues.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical, skills-based strategies to help clients address day-to-day difficulties while also attending to deeper emotional patterns like attachment, codependency, and grief. Her work also covers a range of life and caregiving transitions, blended family dynamics, and eating and sleeping struggles.

Her style emphasizes a respectful, collaborative partnership in which clients' perspectives guide the work. Ingrid blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to build alternative coping skills.

She also integrates elements from dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused work, and the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics or emotional regulation are central concerns. Ingrid aims to help people access skills they already possess and to translate learning into meaningful, sustainable change.

Outside of practice she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she balances work with family life in Texas.

How Ingrid’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Ingrid commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behavioral routines; this method is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so that the client’s own goals and insight drive the pace and focus of sessions. Occasionally she integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and coping strategies are key targets.

Choosing the best approach is intended to be a collaborative process. Ingrid works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and needs evolve. The therapeutic relationship and ongoing feedback guide which strategies are emphasized in online work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life demands, supporting consistent practice of skills between sessions and allowing clients to access help from home or while traveling.
