About Anastasia

Anastasia Ingram-Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Anastasia also addresses addictions, grief, career questions, and codependency when people find themselves putting others first at their own expense.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person's priorities and uses practical skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to manage intense feelings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help people find small, doable steps toward goals like clearer boundaries or better daily routines.

In sessions she listens for what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and then works with the person to try different strategies. That might mean building skills to reduce panic, practicing ways to speak up, or breaking big problems into manageable steps. She explains tools in simple terms and practices them together during sessions.

Anastasia pays attention to how culture, identity, and discrimination affect mental health. She helps clients sort through guilt, shame, and attachment patterns that keep them stuck. The work aims to increase coping skills, improve communication, and make stressors feel more manageable.

People interested in starting are invited to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are offered in English and follow California practice standards.

How sessions work

Approaches she uses and how online sessions work

Client-centered therapy focuses on what the person wants to address and puts their priorities first. It involves open conversation and reflection so goals are driven by the client rather than imposed by the therapist. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It helps with panic, mood swings, and problems with impulsive behavior through step-by-step practice. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience to reduce reactivity and calm the mind; it is often paired with skills practice to make daily life easier.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anastasia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges arise.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel on hectic days. Therapists can use online sessions to practice communication skills, try grounding and mindfulness exercises together, and review homework between meetings. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday life in practical ways.
