About Ingrid
Ingrid Vicencio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating-related issues, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, grief, anger, and self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who need practical help managing life’s pressures.
Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build better coping skills. She also draws on EMDR and Narrative Therapy for processing trauma and motivating change when those methods fit the client's goals.
In sessions she helps people talk through immediate problems and plan small steps they can try between meetings. Conversations often focus on breaking down stressors, improving communication, and addressing patterns like avoidance or self-criticism. She also supports work on eating and body-image concerns and the emotional effects of major life changes.
Ingrid aims to work collaboratively to set concrete goals and measure progress. She encourages practical strategies for daily life, such as coping tools, communication practices, and behavior experiments. Her bilingual skills can help English- and Spanish-speaking clients express concerns in the language they prefer.
