About Ingrid

Ingrid Vicencio is an LCSW licensed in California with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, eating-related concerns, relationship challenges, and mood difficulties. She blends practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients examine patterns of thinking and behavior, strengthen coping skills, and process painful experiences.

Background and approach

Ingrid creates an atmosphere that encourages honest sharing while maintaining professional warmth and direction. Her work often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and trauma-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She attends to related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, grief, and life transitions, and she offers services in both English and Spanish. Ingrid frames therapy as a collaborative process, inviting clients to set goals and experiment with changes between sessions to build sustainable progress.

Approaches that translate to online care

In practice she commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques to address symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. EMDR-style trauma work focuses on processing painful memories and reducing their emotional intensity, which can help people move forward from abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods fit best based on their goals, history, and preferences. Treatment plans may combine skill-building, narrative exploration, and targeted trauma work so clients feel involved in choosing next steps.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy lives, maintain momentum between meetings, and use different communication styles for coaching, skills practice, or processing work.
