Ingrid Vicencio, LCSW

Ingrid Vicencio is a California licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and eating-related concerns. Ingrid offers a warm, straightforward approach and speaks English and Spanish. Her style is calm and practical. She creates space for people to talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions aim to make everyday coping easier and to help people take small steps toward change. In therapy she often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also draws on EMDR techniques and narrative approaches when trauma or painful memories are part of the story. Ingrid blends practical skills with listening. She helps clients set clear, manageable goals and practices new ways of responding between sessions. That combination supports progress even when life feels overwhelming. People come to her for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, addiction-related struggles, identity and LGBT issues, body image, and challenges around communication and attachment. She also works with issues tied to caregiving, immigration, and life transitions. Taking the first step can feel hard. Ingrid encourages straightforward conversations about what someone wants to change and what steps feel doable. She supports people as they build routines and try out new ways of coping.
