About Ingrid
Ingrid Wheeler is an LCSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She brings 11 years of experience to sessions and aims to help clients develop practical skills for everyday challenges.
She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions emphasize building resilience and stronger self-understanding. Ingrid uses straightforward tools to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her work often addresses relationships, communication problems, addiction and caregiver stress. Money and financial issues are also part of her practice when they affect mood, decisions, or daily functioning. She also helps people coping with grief, career changes, midlife shifts, and symptoms of mood disorders.
In therapy she draws on a mix of Client-Centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and skills-based techniques to address emotional ups and downs. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used when people want to set short-term goals and make concrete changes.
Ingrid practices in Illinois and works in English. Her background includes supporting Veterans and caregivers among other populations, and she aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on results and comfort.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or evenings. It can also support short, focused goal work or ongoing skills practice when that suits the person’s needs.
