Ingrid Vicencio , LCSW

Ingrid Vicencio is a California-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who supports individuals coping with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and eating disorders. She fosters an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored, helping clients feel heard as they consider change.

Recognizing that reaching out for help requires courage, she offers steady support through each step of the therapeutic process. Ingrid emphasizes collaboration, working with clients to identify practical strategies and personal goals that lead to greater well-being and fulfillment. Her approach balances empathy with actionable skills so clients can build resilience and make meaningful progress in daily life.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful environment that honors each person’s pace and experience, encouraging honest conversation and self-reflection. Whether someone is facing acute stress, navigating a difficult relationship, processing past trauma, or addressing eating-related concerns, Ingrid provides thoughtful guidance and supportive care to help people move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ingrid often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as EMDR, adapting these methods to meet each client’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills - it is often helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ingrid collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She emphasizes a team-like process where strategies are tested and adjusted as needed to promote steady progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access care from home, and maintain continuity of work with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geographic constraints.
