About Ingrid
Ingrid Vasquez is a New Jersey licensed clinical social worker who focuses on supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and transitions.
Background and approach
She works with people who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps, offering a calm, practical approach that helps clients notice strengths and move toward meaningful change. Ingrid uses a blend of approaches to tailor care to each person's situation and priorities.
Over a decade of clinical experience informs her use of evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns of thought and build emotion regulation and coping skills.
She also integrates creative arts techniques when expressive methods feel helpful, encouraging clients to experiment with drawing, writing, or other outlets as part of the healing process. Her style is described as compassionate and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on practical tools alongside deeper personal exploration.
Approach and Access: Therapeutic Methods for Online Care
Ingrid commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing worry, low mood, and workplace or relationship stress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying values and learning to take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. Both approaches aim to increase practical coping and emotional flexibility, and they are often adapted to the pace and goals of each person.She emphasizes collaboration when choosing methods, acknowledging that finding the right therapeutic approach is a process. The therapist will work together with clients to identify priorities, test different techniques, and adjust strategies based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel personally useful rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, try brief skill-focused check-ins, or engage in longer conversations from home or while traveling, allowing licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that suit their routines and learning styles.
