Background and approach
Ingrid draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used when trauma memories are getting in the way. Her work covers relationship stress, grief, self-esteem, body image, gender dysphoria, and immigration-related concerns. She also helps people manage caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, and life transitions.
The focus is on practical steps and clearer choices. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Ingrid commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and food-related concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can be practiced between sessions to ease relationship strain and intense feelings. For trauma-related symptoms, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be offered to reduce the hold of painful memories and promote more adaptive responses.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust plans over time. Clients help shape the direction of therapy so it fits their life and priorities.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is preferred. Chat and text work well for brief check-ins, ongoing skills practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking.
