About Ingrid
Ingrid Vicencio is a licensed clinical social worker in California who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and eating concerns. She creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Ingrid speaks both English and Spanish and works with adults on a range of life challenges.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. For trauma-related concerns she may integrate EMDR techniques alongside narrative therapy to help people make sense of painful memories.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals. Together the person and Ingrid outline small, doable steps toward better coping and clearer decision making. She pays attention to how past relationship patterns affect present choices, including attachment and abandonment themes.
She also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, codependency, immigration-related worries, and life purpose questions. Her style blends active skill teaching with reflective work on personal stories. The aim is to help people regain steadiness and move toward meaningful change.

How Ingrid’s approaches translate to online work
Ingrid uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can fit well into online sessions that focus on skill practice and homework. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage strong feelings and relationship stress. DBT skills are taught step by step and can be practiced between appointments. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is another approach she incorporates for trauma-related concerns; EMDR techniques help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when it is appropriate to do so.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person’s life and priorities.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. It also lets people practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into therapy for problem solving.
