Evidence-Informed Methods for Online Support

Ingrid often uses structured cognitive and behavioral techniques that help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce stress and anxiety. These methods can also support improvements in mood and daily functioning by breaking down larger goals into manageable steps.

She also applies skills-based training focused on emotional regulation, impulse control, and parenting practices. This approach emphasizes concrete tools and routines that can help with ADHD challenges, impulsivity, communication problems, and managing parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ingrid collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective.
