About Ingrid

Ingrid Vasquez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and burnout. She writes in plain language and keeps sessions practical. People come to her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

She uses therapeutic tools that teach concrete skills. That includes strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thinking patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy, which focuses on emotion regulation.

Background and approach

Ingrid also brings in client-centered elements that prioritize each person's pace and priorities. In sessions she emphasizes simple, usable techniques. Those techniques help with everyday problems like handling anger, coping with life changes, navigating work stress, and managing compassion fatigue.

She also addresses concerns such as communication problems, boundaries, body image, and issues related to self-love and life purpose. With ten years of experience, Ingrid adapts her approach to each person she meets. She listens for what matters most and helps build a plan that fits daily life.

Her background as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - guides how she blends practical skill-building with a supportive stance. Therapy with her aims to make change feel steady rather than sudden. Sessions can include talking, skill practice, and creative expression when that feels helpful.

The overall goal is clearer thinking, better emotion management, and more confidence moving forward.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It uses exercises that build willingness to accept difficult feelings while still pursuing chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so problems feel more manageable; it often includes straightforward homework and skill practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and strengthening emotional connections; it can help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit personality, needs, and daily routines.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. Many people appreciate being able to practice skills at home and to follow up quickly using messaging when questions or struggles come up.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
