About Ingrid

Ingrid Vicencio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in California and has seven years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. Ingrid also supports individuals facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, eating or addiction concerns, and questions about identity and gender.

She aims to make sessions a calm place to talk without judgment.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters to the person sitting across from her. Ingrid listens for patterns in relationships, self-image, and coping strategies so she can help a person notice what isn't working and what might change.

In practice she uses a mix of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to untangle unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work when appropriate. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to support change and reshaping personal stories.

Sessions can include short skills practice, problem solving, and gentle exploration of past experiences that affect today's behavior. Ingrid helps people set small, doable goals and tracks progress over time. She pays attention to practical needs as well as emotional ones.

Her work is aimed at individuals seeking clearer direction, relief from distressing symptoms, or help rebuilding after loss or difficult events. Ingrid balances warmth with practical steps so people leave each session with something to try before the next one.

Online support

How Ingrid’s approaches translate to online care

Ingrid commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can lead to practical shifts in mood and routine. She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into sessions to teach attention, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation strategies that clients can practice between meetings. When trauma is a central concern, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process distressing memories in a paced way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ingrid will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most comfortable, then recommend ways to proceed. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, while phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to match therapy to a person’s schedule and daily life.
