About Ina

Ina Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 23 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, stress, anger and impulse control, grief, attentional challenges and autism spectrum concerns, as well as substance-related struggles and relationship difficulties. Ina emphasizes clients' strengths and collaborates to set clear goals while drawing on evidence-informed techniques to address emotional and behavioral challenges.

Her approach blends practical skills training with relational work, using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Attachment-based ideas.

Ina aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients can develop coping tools for life transitions, parenting challenges, career stress, and complex mood concerns.

She offers services in English and German and supports people across a broad range of issues including ADHD, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, caregiver stress, and LGBTQ matters.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ina often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and problem-solving, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and attention-related challenges. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness strategies to increase psychological flexibility and to help clients cope with difficult emotions and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods resonate, tailor techniques to individual goals, and adjust strategies as progress unfolds so that treatment aligns with each person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, access care from home, and maintain continuity of work on skills between appointments.
