About Ivelisse

Ivelisse Concepcion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes. She practices in New York and offers services in English and Spanish.

She brings over 25 years of experience in community mental health to each session. Early work on child and youth crisis teams shaped her skill set, and more recent years have included work with adults and couples.

Background and approach

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from New York University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Her style is straightforward and practical. She meets people where they are and builds on daily strengths.

Sessions focus on identifying barriers, developing coping strategies, and practicing small changes that add up over time. Ivelisse uses a mix of approaches that match the person’s needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.

Trauma-focused work is included when past events are affecting current life. People can expect a collaborative process that balances skill building with emotional support. She has worked with families and individuals facing severe emotional challenges, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and mood or trauma-related conditions.

Her aim is to help people regain a sense of control and move toward choices that feel right for them.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to figure out their own priorities and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include learning practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms, and practicing those skills between meetings.

Solution-focused therapy centers on small, achievable goals. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, concrete changes or a clear plan to solve a specific problem.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches that focus on skill building, trauma work, and practical problem solving.
