About Anastasia
Anastasia Ingram-Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of practice. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, grief, career concerns, and life changes. She also addresses issues like attachment, codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
Anastasia keeps conversation direct and practical. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing, whether that is managing panic, coping after loss, or sorting out relationship and career choices. She draws on approaches that help people build skills, increase motivation, and notice unhelpful patterns.
Her work includes Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's priorities and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and mindfulness practices are used to strengthen emotion regulation and present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.
She pays attention to cultural and identity factors that affect how people experience mood and shame. Conversations often include concrete tools - short behavioral experiments, grounding practices, and goal-setting steps that can be tried between sessions. Anastasia aims to be straightforward about options and what a few sessions might look like.
People who reach out can expect to talk through current struggles, try skills during the work, and check how the tools fit into day-to-day life. Anastasia asks about practical barriers and adjusts the pace so clients can try things without feeling overwhelmed.
How Anastasia uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and helps guide sessions around what matters most. This approach is useful when someone wants a space to sort feelings, look at options, and decide next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing panic, and handling relationship conflict. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That might mean starting with short, practical skills, then moving to longer-term strategies for mood and behavior change.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Therapists can use video or phone in ways that reduce strain, help with follow-up between sessions, and support practicing skills in daily life.
