Approach-focused care through online sessions

Ingrid blends person-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods to help people manage day-to-day challenges. Person-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's priorities and experiences and creating room for them to guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Ingrid works together with each client to figure out what fits best based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. That collaborative planning may combine elements from different approaches to address immediate problems and longer-term change.

Online therapy can make that collaboration easier to fit into real life. Video calls work well for full sessions that mimic in-person meetings. Phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option and can be easier when screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, skills practice, and follow-up between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
