Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ingrid draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and a respectful, non-judgmental stance to help people explore their values and build self-awareness - this approach is useful for those seeking personal growth, improved self-esteem, or support during life transitions.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. CBT can be especially helpful for managing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informs work with emotional regulation and impulsivity, offering tools for distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and managing intense emotions - this can benefit those dealing with anger, mood instability, or difficulties in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and tailors the therapeutic plan as the work unfolds in partnership with each person.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for busy schedules and those with limited local access to care. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively through virtual formats, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into daily life.
