About Ingrid

Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and related concerns. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can sort through life’s problems and build practical skills. Her tone is collaborative and steady, and she frames therapy as a partnership focused on real-life progress.

She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice what’s happening in the moment and reduce reactivity. Ingrid also draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s perspective central, and she brings cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs and goals.

With 21 years of counseling experience and work as a school counselor earlier in her career, Ingrid has spent years refining ways to ease stress and anxiety. She emphasizes small, day-to-day changes that add up over time and teaches coping tools people can use between sessions.

In session she focuses on helping people find and use the strengths they already have. She offers guidance, resources, and concrete strategies for managing sleep, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, attention difficulties, and caregiver stress among other issues.

Outside of work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog and is married with two daughters. She accepts clients in Texas and also supports international clients; sessions are conducted in English.

How Ingrid’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Ingrid uses mindfulness techniques to help people become aware of tension and habitual reactions, which can reduce rumination and improve calm. She also relies on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience and choices, creating space to talk through what matters most in everyday life. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and shift thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose practices and tools that fit their goals and daily routine. Progress is shaped together, with adjustments when something isn’t helping or when priorities change.

If you’re considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions in the places where life actually happens. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral exercises to an online setting and help you integrate them into daily routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
