About Ingrid
Ingrid Vicencio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She also supports those facing trauma, eating and addictive behaviors, and questions around identity and relationships.
In sessions she aims to build a calm, direct space where clients can speak freely about what’s hard. She listens closely and helps clients name their patterns.
Background and approach
Together they set clear goals and practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain control. Her background includes several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical behavior strategies are woven in for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, especially when feelings feel intense. She also brings EMDR-informed methods for people who have trauma that keeps returning in memories or reactions. Motivational interviewing is used to support shifts in behavior, like changing habits around eating or substance use.
Narrative therapy helps people reframe painful stories about themselves and imagine different futures. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Ingrid helps people who are navigating grief, life changes, attachment or caregiver stress, immigration-related concerns, and questions about gender and identity.
The approach is practical, steady, and focused on small, achievable change.

Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then test and change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behaviors related to eating or substance use.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and communicating more effectively. These skills can be practiced in sessions and applied between meetings.
EMDR-informed work focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger. It can help people who find memories or flashbacks keep coming up in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
