About Ingrid
Ingrid Vicencio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 7 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and eating-related issues. She also lists support for depression, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her background includes a range of clinical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. In session she helps people name what feels most overwhelming and notices how thoughts and behaviors keep those patterns going. She aims to create straightforward space for talking through feelings without judgment.
Practical skills and strategies are part of the work. That can look like trying specific techniques from CBT to shift unhelpful thinking, using DBT skills for emotion regulation, or bringing narrative work to change how someone tells their own story. EMDR may be used when trauma memories are a central problem.
She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating and food-related issues, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. Those topics are addressed in ways that focus on what a person can do day to day.
To begin, the process asks people to choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How key approaches are used in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems with mood or eating-related patterns.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help when strong emotions, anger, or relationship reactivity get in the way of daily life.
EMDR addresses disturbing or stuck memories by using structured processing to reduce their intensity. It is commonly applied when trauma and abuse remain a central problem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, do shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, or use phone calls when bandwidth is low. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises from CBT, DBT, and EMDR so the work can move forward even when you are not meeting in person.
