About Anastasia
Anastasia Ingram-Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and life changes. Anastasia focuses on practical, conversational support rather than clinical jargon.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to the person in front of her, and she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help with emotional regulation and intense feelings. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed.
Anastasia also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build confidence for next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and action-based, with small, achievable steps between meetings. She adapts conversation and exercises to match a client’s pace and goals.
Sessions are aimed at clear, practical work: naming priorities, trying small experiments, and checking what helped. She pays attention to how culture and discrimination can affect mood and self-worth, and includes those concerns in planning. People looking for straightforward, skill-based support around anxiety, mood, addiction, grief, or career concerns will find a direct style focused on usable skills.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Anastasia notes that the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and she works in English in California.
How Anastasia uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps shape goals from their priorities, which can be comforting for people who find social situations or speaking up difficult.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing panic or impulsive reactions. In practice this means learning short grounding exercises, emotion regulation strategies, and ways to tolerate distress between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on problems, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as small steps are tried and reviewed together.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are set through the therapist’s scheduling tools. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and apply skills between meetings.
