About Ingrid
Ingrid Vasquez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She offers a calm, practical space for people who feel stuck and want clearer next steps. Ingrid speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable changes that fit into everyday life.
In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help people regulate strong emotions and tolerate distress.
Background and approach
These methods are taught in simple steps and practiced between sessions so new habits can take hold. Ingrid values a collaborative style. She encourages people to bring their own goals and to test what works.
That might include short experiments, writing prompts, or simple behavioral changes aimed at immediate relief and longer-term growth. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for personal meaning and emotion. This helps people feel heard while they sort out issues like parenting stress, work pressure, low self-esteem, or relationship conflict.
She can guide conversations about boundaries, communication problems, and managing impulsive reactions. With ten years of experience and a New Jersey LCSW credential, Ingrid blends practical skill-building with attention to feelings. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people from within New Jersey as well as international clients.
Her goal is to help people find steadier footing and clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Ingrid often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood, workplace stress, and issues like anger that come from automatic reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; it helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and take steps toward a meaningful life. ACT can be useful for stress, life transitions, and problems that involve avoidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ingrid works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She explains options in everyday language and adapts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts between sessions and use brief, focused support during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
