About Ingrid

Ingrid Vasquez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults who feel stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage anxiety, depression, parenting stress, career concerns, and life changes. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth so someone can make real changes without getting lost in jargon.

She uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell themselves and identify where those stories limit them.

Background and approach

Ingrid also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to teach skills for handling strong emotions and shifting unhelpful thinking. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and adapts tools to fit their pace.

Conversations may include exploring family dynamics, self-esteem, body image, workplace stress, or parenting challenges. The work is collaborative - clients choose goals and Ingrid helps map steps to reach them. She brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice in New Jersey and holds an LCSW credential.

Conversations are offered in English and are available to international clients as needed. Ingrid helps people find small, sustainable changes that build confidence and reduce everyday strain. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

The subscription-based plan can be canceled at any time so people can adjust care as life changes.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Ingrid uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks for patterns in those stories and opens the possibility of rewriting limiting narratives to make space for different choices and strengths.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small, value-driven steps even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills for mood and anxiety concerns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps people figure out what techniques feel most helpful for them.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and texting offer brief check-ins and tools between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage childcare, or keep momentum during life transitions.
