About Ingrid
Ingrid Vicencio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring from home life, including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, and addictions. She also addresses issues connected to family dynamics, grief, anger, self-esteem, and major life changes. Ingrid offers services in English and Spanish.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and building steps to change patterns that cause pain.
People who contact her usually want clearer communication, steadier mood, or relief from difficult memories and habits. She helps adults untangle relationship patterns and cope with caregiver stress, abandonment concerns, body image issues, and immigration-related strain. Ingrid also works with issues such as codependency, dependent personality traits, and divorce-related adjustments.
Her work balances short-term skill building with deeper exploration when needed. That might mean practicing new ways to respond to conflict one week, and looking into the life stories that shaped those responses the next.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect daily life. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more calmly. It can help when anger, relationship swings, or overwhelming feelings are a problem. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, looks at upsetting memories and helps reduce their emotional intensity through guided processing and bilateral stimulation techniques; it is commonly offered for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ingrid will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and how to pace sessions, adapting as needs change over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, let someone have a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid travel time. Many people find that mixing skills-focused sessions with deeper processing weeks later helps maintain progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
