About Ingrid
Ingrid Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She offers straightforward, practical support for parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, addiction-related issues, and sleep or eating struggles. Her tone is calm and down-to-earth to put worried parents at ease from the first conversation.
She draws on 21 years of counseling experience and uses a person-centered stance that keeps the client's priorities central.
Background and approach
That means she listens first, then helps people sort through what matters most and set realistic goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and habits and reduce day-to-day stress. In sessions she focuses on practical tools - skills for managing anxious moments, routines to improve sleep and eating patterns, and communication strategies for tense interactions.
She helps parents adapt when life changes, like adoption, blended households, or caregiver stress, create new pressures. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Ingrid responds to messages most often in the evening and balances timely replies with other client work and commitments.
People can expect a partnered style of work where therapist and client decide the next steps together. Outside of work she enjoys jogging and walking her dog, and mentions family life with a spouse and two daughters as part of her perspective. Her practice operates from Texas and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Ingrid often blends a person-centered approach with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people handle parenting stress and daily worries. Person-centered work focuses on listening, understanding each parent's goals, and building a trusting therapeutic partnership. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change habits that get in the way.She may also draw on elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when strong feelings feel overwhelming. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on goals, current challenges, and personal preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to process quick worries between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and keep continuity when routines change.
