About Isabel
Isabel Restrepo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 13 years of experience. She works with people dealing with LGBT concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and attention-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Isabel focuses on practical coping and clearer thinking. She helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to handle problems. In sessions she talks through relationship patterns, attention and concentration difficulties, mood swings, and past trauma. Conversations are direct and aimed at small changes that add up over time.
Her experience includes addressing attachment concerns, communication problems, impulsivity, and obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors. She also works with people facing prejudice and discrimination and those navigating non-monogamous or polyamorous relationship structures. Isabel pays attention to how culture and identity affect day-to-day functioning.
People who come for help with panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, or low self-love will find a clinician who emphasizes clear steps and steady progress. She encourages practical strategies for managing symptoms and restoring daily routines.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
BHow sessions work
How Isabel integrates evidence-based techniques into online care
Isabel works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete steps people can try between sessions. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and replace those thoughts with clearer, more realistic alternatives; this is useful for low self-esteem, anxiety, and mood problems. Another approach emphasizes skill building for attention and impulse control, offering practical strategies to improve concentration and daily routines for people with attention-related concerns.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Isabel will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. She reviews what is and isn’t working and adjusts the plan together.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, arrange sessions around work or family responsibilities, or avoid commuting on a difficult day. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support steady, goal-focused work over time.
