About Ingrid
Ingrid Vasquez is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and career or relationship strain. Ingrid focuses on practical steps a parent or caregiver can use when parenting feels draining or confusing.
Her sessions are warm and straightforward. Ingrid uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and calm strong emotions.
Background and approach
She also brings client-centered listening that lets people set the pace and choose what matters most to them. Ingrid has worked in the field for 10 years and holds an LCSW, licensed in New Jersey. That experience informs how she helps people manage transitions, grief, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.
She pays attention to day-to-day routines that shape mood and energy. Conversation can also explore identity topics like body image, sexuality, self-love, and women's issues. Ingrid supports people wrestling with abandonment, setting boundaries, or repairing broken communication.
Sessions look at small changes that make daily life feel easier. Clients and therapist together set goals and try out new strategies between meetings. Methods include thought work, emotion regulation skills, and writing or art as ways to reflect.
Ingrid accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or fear is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. Both approaches work well for stress, parenting strain, and life transitions by giving clear steps and practice tasks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ingrid will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in about what feels useful so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of exercises. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter touchpoints, homework feedback, or when writing feels more natural than talking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, caregiving schedules, or across time zones.
