Ingram Johnson
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, LCMHCA
Serves Area
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational stress, often at times when things feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to manage alone.
I use an integrative approach to counseling, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This allows us to tailor the work to what you need through building coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, processing difficult experiences, and creating a clearer direction forward.

You don't have to hold everything together here. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment—a place where you can show up exactly as you are. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying so much for so long while being incredibly hard on themselves along the way. They often struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling like they can never escape their "funk". I believe healing happens in the context of safe relationships, so I strive to bring compassion and genuine care to our work together.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling to make or keep positive, lasting relationships.
You have a story to tell and have been carrying it with you for a long time. Somewhere along the way, you stopped sharing your story with other people. You became small. Smaller for everyone else. You tried to find a way to feel bigger but everytime you did, something seemed to go wrong. You’d say the wrong thing. Do the wrong thing. Hurt someone you love. You were like a “bull in a china shop”. Your attempt to find your way back to the people you love would only leave you feeling more alone. You might be feeling like things are harder than you bargained for, but this is not work that you have to do alone.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
