About Ina
Ina Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Ina speaks English and German and aims to make therapy approachable for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Ina uses a mix of therapies to match individual needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy skills to look at patterns in close relationships.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help some clients shift toward valued living when symptoms feel limiting. Her work often centers on real-life problems such as parenting stress, caregiver burnout, grief, eating and sleeping struggles, attention differences, and substance concerns.
She also supports people facing identity-related challenges, coping with aging, or adjusting after trauma. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and practical strategies that fit daily life. Ina aims for a collaborative tone in sessions.
She treats the person as the expert on their own story and helps them build on their strengths. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with skills practice and check-ins on progress. Therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is set after a short matching questionnaire and selection of the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Ina often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and close relationships shape patterns in current relationships; this can help when people feel stuck in repeating hurtful cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify personal values and take small committed steps toward them even when difficult thoughts and feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Ina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on relational patterns, skills-based practice, values-driven action, or a blend of methods so therapy fits real life.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text sessions can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between meetings.
