About Ingrid
Ingrid Vicencio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in California. She has seven years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make early steps toward change feel manageable.
Her approach is straightforward. She offers a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. Ingrid focuses on what matters to each person and works at a pace that feels right for them.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns of thinking and build coping skills. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma processing, plus Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to help people find direction and meaning.
People come to her for a range of struggles including depression, grief, addiction concerns, eating and body image issues, and stress tied to life changes. She also supports those managing attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Ingrid prefers to collaborate on goals and plans so work in therapy feels practical and relevant.
She uses clear language and simple exercises that people can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
Approaches applied online and how they can help
Ingrid commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into clear steps and gives simple homework to practice new skills between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are practical and can be practiced during everyday moments to reduce overwhelm. For survivors of trauma she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process distressing memories in a paced way.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face; phone can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited; live chat or messaging can be used for quick reflections or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to maintain steady support over time.
