Ingrid Johnson, LPC

Ingrid Johnson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 21 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, and life transitions. She creates a non-judgmental space where clients are treated as partners in care and are encouraged to explore their own strengths and goals. Ingrid relies on a client-centered foundation, honoring each person’s unique perspective while integrating practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to address day-to-day thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress.

Her work focuses on empowering clients with concrete tools for managing symptoms of depression, ADHD, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and sleep or eating difficulties, as well as issues related to parenting, career, and self-esteem. She also supports clients facing adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and other complex family problems. Ingrid typically responds to messages in the evening and aims to be available and responsive while balancing professional responsibilities.

Clients describe the therapeutic relationship with Ingrid as collaborative and goal-oriented; she helps people uncover resources they already possess and apply them to create meaningful change. Outside of practice, she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and she is married with two daughters.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Ingrid Johnson draws from client-centered therapy to create a supportive, collaborative relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building on the client’s existing strengths to set goals and make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used alongside this foundation to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and daily stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also employed when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship challenges are central concerns - DBT teaches specific tools for coping with intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Ingrid collaborates with each person to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels purposeful and manageable. She helps clients evaluate what methods work best and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Ingrid is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access regular support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
