About Ingrid
Ingrid Johnson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationships, and everyday habits like sleep and eating. She approaches sessions as a partnership and aims to help clients find practical tools for day-to-day life. Her style is straightforward and geared toward people who want clear steps to feel more in control.
With 21 years of counseling experience, she draws on client-centered work that puts the person's perspective first. That means she listens carefully and supports each person in naming what matters most to them. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and shift everyday routines.
Her practice includes strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. She also integrates emotionally focused ideas for relational patterns and elements of the Gottman Method for communication problems. These approaches are used to help with concerns such as grief, trauma, ADHD, addictions, parenting stress, and caregiver strain.
In session, she helps people break down problems into manageable steps, practices simple skills, and points to resources that fit their situation. She often focuses on thoughts and everyday habits because small changes there can change how a person feels. Messages are usually answered in the evening, though response times can vary when she is attending to other responsibilities.
Outside of work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she is married with two daughters.

How her approaches fit with online therapy
Ingrid commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work means she starts by listening and helping people name their goals, then shapes sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing small daily habits to reduce stress and improve mood.She may also include elements of dialectical behavior therapy when someone needs concrete tools for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress. That approach teaches specific skills in breathing room, emotion regulation, and practical coping that translate well to remote sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that match their needs. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many clients find online therapy helps fit counseling into busy days, makes it easier to keep appointments during work breaks, and reduces travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins while others schedule regular full sessions depending on what works best for their routine.
