Ingrid Johnson, LPC

Ingrid Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and many other life challenges. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away, and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and supportive. Ingrid emphasizes partnership and respects each person’s knowledge of their own life.

She favors a client-centered approach that puts the person’s goals first. That means the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering tools and structure when helpful. Cognitive behavioral techniques are part of her work, helping people notice thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce daily stress.

Over two decades of practice inform her style, and she brings experience with issues like ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, eating and sleeping struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging-related worries.

In sessions she aims to sort through immediate problems and provide resources clients can use between meetings. She typically replies to messages in the evening and asks for patience when responses take longer due to other responsibilities.

Outside of work she jogs and walks her dog, and she is married with two daughters. Her personal life informs a grounded, approachable stance in therapy and a focus on realistic, everyday changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, offering reflections and support to help people make changes that matter to them. This approach is useful for many concerns, including stress, grief, and relationship challenges.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms. In online sessions this can mean practicing new skills in between meetings and reviewing what worked or didn’t work. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping problems.

Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skills like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. These skills can be taught and practiced in remote sessions, with homework and check-ins to track progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and situation. This collaborative process can change over time as needs evolve.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to attend. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and exercises to remote work so practical skills transfer into everyday life.
